SF 2325 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

General education disparity aid establishment

This bill establishes a new funding mechanism called "general education disparity aid" to address funding gaps between Minnesota school districts. It calculates aid for districts with per-pupil funding below the 20th percentile of all districts, based on the difference between their actual funding and the 20th percentile benchmark. The aid amount equals 0.37 times this funding gap multiplied by the district's student enrollment (adjusted pupil units), starting in fiscal year 2026. The bill appropriates state funds for this program beginning in 2026, directly affecting school districts with lower per-pupil revenue compared to most others.
