Student support personnel aid allowable uses expansion

SF 133 expands how Minnesota school districts and charter schools can use student support personnel aid. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 124D.901, allowing districts to hire or contract for licensed student support staff (like counselors, psychologists, or nurses) when they cannot fill full-time positions with the aid. It also permits using the aid to make temporary pandemic relief-funded positions permanent or to increase part-time positions. This change applies to aid used for fiscal year 2026 and later. The bill directly affects school districts managing student support staff budgets.
