Get the details for the recently passed Michigan FY 2026 education budget and learn how to secure funding for your district today.
2026 School Safety Funding Information
Recently signed, Michigan’s FY 2026 education budget includes record investments in school safety and mental health, creating a strong incentive and resource base for districts to modernize emergency response systems, threat-detection tools, and behavioral support programs.
This is the moment to act—your district can leverage these funds to meet legal obligations and safeguard your students and staff.
Here’s how Michigan is directing funds toward school safety and student well-being:
-
$321 million allocated statewide for student mental health and school safety needs
-
$200 million (up to) in school infrastructure funding
-
Additional support for at-risk students, literacy, and wraparound services that reduce behavioral risk factors
-
Boosted base funding gives districts more flexibility to allocate local dollars toward safety & compliance systems
These appropriations represent a once-in-a-cycle opportunity for districts to upgrade their safety architecture, meet compliance requirements, and deliver measurable impact.
Take Action Now: Leverage Your Safety Funds
This is a limited window in which to deploy safety and compliance systems using the state’s new funding. Don’t leave dollars on the table or scramble at year’s end.
- Audit your current safety and compliance readiness
- Map your district’s funding eligibility under Michigan’s FY 26 safety allocation
- Plan a phased rollout that meets both compliance and safety goals
- Deliver outcomes and justify future funding decisions with data
Get in touch today to learn how to leverage this funding to implement the CENTEGIX Safety Platform in your district to help protect your staff and students and foster a culture of safety.

Hear from Our Michigan Educators
We engage with teachers and staff every day to understand how CrisisAlert supports them, and here’s what they’ve shared:
I had a non-verbal student having a meltdown in the lunch room, I was unable to get her to leave with me. I used my Badge and 3 higher up staff members came to assist and get the other students out of the way. This device has been nothing but helpful to our whole school.
A student had a medical emergency in my classroom. If this situation had occurred before I had CrisisAlert, I wouldn’t be able to stay with the student. I think every school employee everywhere should have these.
We received training on the system. The support and trail of the system was easy and clear. We will run a drill for staff/students after the entire team is trained on the system. The system is created for expediency and ease of use, both of which are necessary in an emergency situation.
