Bill > SF1013

This bill appropriates a total of $30 million in state funding for the Head Start program over two fiscal years (2026 and 2027), with $15 million allocated in each year. Head Start is a federally-funded program that provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The funding will be provided by the state's general fund and will be administered by the commissioner of children, youth, and families, specifically for the Head Start program as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.12. By dedicating these funds, the bill aims to support early childhood education and provide resources for young children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to access high-quality educational programs that can help prepare them for future academic and social success.
