General education disparity aid established, and money appropriated.
This bill establishes a new funding program called "general education disparity aid" to support Minnesota school districts with lower per-student revenue. It calculates aid based on the difference between a district's revenue per student and the 20th percentile of all districts, multiplied by the district's adjusted student enrollment. The program begins in fiscal year 2026 and appropriates funds for 2026 and 2027 to provide this targeted support. It directly affects school districts with revenue below the 20th percentile benchmark, aiming to reduce funding disparities. The aid is calculated using existing revenue data from Minnesota Statutes sections 126C.10 and 126C.17.
