Local optional revenue increased, aid amount increased, and money appropriated.

HF 409 increases funding for Minnesota public school districts by raising local optional revenue allowances. It sets new annual allowance amounts: $250 for first-tier, $300 for second-tier, and $424 for third-tier local revenue starting in fiscal year 2026. School districts calculate their revenue using these allowances multiplied by adjusted pupil units, with levies tied to property values per student. The bill also appropriates additional state funds for general education aid in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This directly affects all Minnesota school districts receiving state education funding.
