Career and technical revenue for school districts increase provision and appropriation

This bill increases funding for Minnesota school districts' career and technical education (CTE) programs. It raises the revenue percentage from 35% to 50% of eligible program costs (like instructor salaries, supplies, and professional development) and sets an annual appropriation of $46.46 million starting in fiscal year 2026. The bill also guarantees districts won't receive less funding than the previous year for CTE programs. These changes directly affect school districts operating approved CTE programs by increasing their state funding and ensuring stable revenue. The policy changes take effect for fiscal year 2026 and later.
