Metro Deaf School grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2459 appropriates $150,000 for the 2026 fiscal year and $150,000 for 2027 to the Metro Deaf School. The funding provides services specifically for young children with deafness, deafblindness, or hard-of-hearing disabilities who do not qualify for existing state funding under Minnesota Statutes §124E.11(h). This is a one-time appropriation, directly supporting the school's ability to serve this specific student population. The bill does not change eligibility rules but provides dedicated funding for an underserved group.
