St. Paul Public Schools grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2263 provides $170,000 for the 2026 fiscal year and $144,000 for 2027 to St. Paul Public Schools' East African Magnet School. The funding supports professional development for teachers on using first language resources and creating culturally relevant materials, including training on adapting stories and selecting resources. It requires all developed materials to be shared freely under a Creative Commons license across Minnesota schools. This is a one-time appropriation directly affecting East African Magnet School staff and students.
