Bill > HF1194

This bill modifies how extended time revenue is calculated for school districts in Minnesota. Currently, the extended time allowance is set at $5,117 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and the bill proposes that for fiscal year 2026 and later, this allowance will be calculated by multiplying the previous year's allowance by the ratio of the current year's basic formula allowance to the previous year's basic formula allowance. Extended time revenue is generated when a school district has pupils in average daily membership between 1.0 and 1.2 pupil units, and can be used for various educational programs such as extended day and week programs, summer school, and vacation break academies. The bill also maintains existing provisions for extended time revenue for specific groups like students in day treatment programs and children's residential facilities, which include psychiatric residential treatment facilities and inpatient hospitalizations with mental health services. The changes aim to provide flexibility for school districts in funding additional instructional time and supporting students with specialized educational needs. The bill will be effective for revenue in fiscal year 2026 and later, though the second section regarding appropriations appears to be incomplete, with blanks where dollar amounts should be specified.
