American Indian education aid requirement removed.
HF 1962 removes a requirement that school districts receiving American Indian education aid must obtain concurrence from an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee before carrying forward unspent funds to the next fiscal year. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 124D.81, subdivision 2b, eliminating the need for committee approval (as specified in lines 1.14-1.16 of the bill text) for districts to retain up to half of unused funds. This change affects school districts and Tribal contract schools that receive American Indian education aid under state funding. The policy shift simplifies administrative processes but does not alter the amount of aid or eligibility for recipients.
