Continued enrollment for students for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year authorized.

This bill requires school districts and charter schools in Minnesota to continue counting students in their enrollment numbers for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year if those students were enrolled before November 1, 2025, and have not yet transferred to another Minnesota school. The change applies retroactively starting November 1, 2025, and is intended to help districts maintain funding levels during periods when students may not be able to attend school due to circumstances like epidemics, weather, or other qualifying events. It also clarifies that employee strikes do not qualify as justifiable causes for keeping students counted in enrollment averages.
