General education revenue modification to include safe schools aid for charter schools

SF 986 modifies Minnesota's education funding to provide charter schools with dedicated "safe schools aid." The bill adds a specific provision requiring $36 per adjusted pupil unit in safe schools aid for charter schools, calculated based on student enrollment. This aid must be reserved exclusively for funding safety-related purposes as defined in state law (section 126C.44, subdivision 4). The change directly affects charter schools by expanding their eligible funding sources beyond general education revenue to include this targeted safety allocation.
