Michigan MDE Section 25f — Payments to Strict Discipline Academies and Qualified Districts

The Michigan Department of Education Section 25f program provides formula-based payments to eligible strict discipline academies and narrowly defined qualified public school academies. The current MDE grant page lists an application period from October 1, 2025 through December 1, 2026 through NexSys. MDE does not publish a closing clock time or time zone on the controlling public page.

For FY 2025-26, Section 25f provides up to $1.6 million statewide. Eligible recipients must satisfy the statutory Section 25f requirements, comply with the Section 25e pupil-transfer process, and apply annually under Section 24. Payments are formula-based on eligible pupil membership and subject to the statutory cap; pupils funded under Section 53a special education are excluded.

This is school foundation/operating funding rather than a competitive healthcare-technology or vendor procurement grant. No mandatory non-federal match, separate vendor-registration pathway, universal project-cost schedule, grant-specific FAQ, or public addendum process is stated on the controlling MDE page. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not an eligible prime applicant or direct bidder, and there is no legitimate Nonagon N9+ or QC Healthcare pathway to position for this opportunity.
