Bill > SF1275

This bill modifies the extended time revenue calculation for school districts in Minnesota, primarily focusing on how the extended time allowance will be determined for fiscal years 2024-2026 and beyond. The bill sets the extended time allowance at $5,117 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and then introduces a new calculation method for fiscal year 2026 and later, where the allowance will be adjusted based on changes in the basic formula allowance. Extended time revenue is calculated based on pupil units for students attending beyond the standard 1.0 daily membership, and includes specific provisions for special programs like day treatment programs, children's residential facilities, and on-site education programs. The bill allows school districts to use extended time revenue for various additional educational programs such as extended day and week programs, summer school, and vacation break academies. The legislation also includes a placeholder for an appropriation for general education aid, though the specific dollar amounts are not specified in the provided text. The changes are set to take effect for revenue in fiscal year 2026 and later, providing school districts with clarity on future funding calculations for extended educational programming.
