Bill > HF922

This bill clarifies the aid and levy amounts for community education programs in Minnesota by making several specific changes to existing statutes. The bill adjusts the general community education revenue rate from $5.42 to $6.35 for fiscal year 2025 and beyond, which is calculated by multiplying this amount by the district's population (with a minimum of 1,335 people). For youth after-school enrichment revenue, the bill removes the reference to fiscal year 2003 and maintains the current funding formula, which provides $1.85 per resident up to 10,000 people and $0.43 for residents over 10,000. Additionally, the bill modifies the community education levy rate, reducing it from 0.94 percent to 0.375 percent in fiscal year 2025, further decreasing to 0.3298 percent in fiscal year 2026, and then to 0.3128 percent in fiscal year 2027 and subsequent years. These changes aim to update and refine the financial support for community education programs, ensuring more precise and potentially more sustainable funding mechanisms for school districts.
