SF 1200 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Calculation of charter school general education revenue clarification

SF 1200 clarifies how Minnesota calculates general education revenue for charter schools, directly affecting all charter schools receiving state funding. The bill specifies that charter schools' revenue must be calculated as if they were traditional school districts, including adding state average revenue plus certain local aid allowances while subtracting a specific formula allowance. It also adds a 25% increase for charter schools offering extended day/week/summer programs and provides separate funding for special education charter schools based on unreimbursed costs. The changes apply to fiscal year 2026 and later revenue.
