Allowed uses of long-term facilities maintenance revenue modification to include school safety facility enhancements

This bill modifies Minnesota's school funding rules to allow public school districts to use long-term facilities maintenance revenue for school safety facility enhancements. Specifically, it adds "school safety facility enhancements" to the list of eligible uses, including security remodeling, violence prevention equipment, and facility security modifications. School districts must now include these safety projects in their required ten-year facility plans, which also address health/safety programs and gender-neutral restrooms. The change takes effect for fiscal year 2026 funding.
