School's compensatory revenue eligibility calculated on the basis of both direct certification and the application of education benefits, various education provisions modified, Compensatory Revenue Task Force established, and money appropriated.

HF 31 modifies how Minnesota school districts calculate eligibility for compensatory revenue funding (used to support students from low-income backgrounds). It changes the method to combine both direct certification (using existing eligibility data) and application of education benefits to determine funding. The bill also allows districts to allocate up to 20% of compensatory funds off-site for broader student needs, while requiring 80% to stay at the school building level. Additionally, it establishes a Compensatory Revenue Task Force to review the system and updates professional development requirements for teachers under the Read Act.
