AI Summary
This bill provides funding for early learning scholarships by appropriating $96,565,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families. The funding is specifically designated for the early learning scholarships program, which is established under Minnesota Statutes, section 142D.25. By specifying that this amount is "added to the base," the bill ensures that these funds are a continuing allocation for supporting early education opportunities, likely aimed at helping low-income families access quality early childhood education programs. Early learning scholarships typically provide financial assistance to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds attend preschool or other early education settings, with the goal of improving school readiness and supporting educational equity.
