Minnesota would calculate school support aid using ongoing rates

Minnesota would use these rates to calculate aid for student support staff. The rates cover school districts and charter schools, plus districts belonging to school cooperatives that serve students. School aid uses a weighted student count, with minimum amounts of $40,000 for districts and $20,000 for charter schools. Cooperative aid has a $40,000 minimum for member districts, but cannot exceed actual spending. These rates would apply to fiscal year 2026 and later. This section would take effect the day following final enactment.

Minnesota would set aside money for student support personnel aid, but the proposed totals are blank. The money would fund aid for school support staff. The proposal leaves both funding totals and several fiscal-year portions blank. The 2026 funding would cover portions for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. The 2027 funding would cover portions for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This section would take effect the day following final enactment.
