Continued enrollment authorization for students for the remainder of the 2025-2026 school year

This bill allows Minnesota school districts and charter schools to continue counting all students enrolled before January 1, 2026, in their average daily membership for funding purposes through the end of the 2025-2026 school year, even if those students are not attending regularly. It directly affects school districts and charter schools by ensuring they maintain funding eligibility for students who remained enrolled but may have been absent due to circumstances like the pandemic. The key provision retroactively applies from January 1, 2026, and is limited to the 2025-2026 school year only. This change modifies existing enrollment counting rules under Minnesota Statutes section 126C.05, subdivision 11.
