SF 1294 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Charter schools local optional revenue aid provision

This bill changes how Minnesota charter schools receive local funding. It requires school districts to provide charter schools with a share of "local optional revenue" (like money from local property taxes) based on the charter school's student enrollment. The amount equals the district's total local optional revenue multiplied by the charter school's student count. Special provisions add extra funding for extended programs and special education charters. This directly affects all Minnesota charter schools operating within school districts.
