Certain cooperative units facilities grant establishment and appropriation

This bill establishes a new $10 million facilities grant program for cooperative units in Minnesota that provide special education or career and technical education services. The program will allocate funds to eligible cooperative units for construction, renovation, or other facility-related purposes authorized under existing state education finance statutes. Each grant award is capped at $2 million, and the bill appropriates the funding from the state's general fund for the 2027 fiscal year. The legislation also sets aside a portion of the appropriation for administrative costs related to managing the grant program.
