Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to education finance; increasing special education cross subsidy aid; appropriating money; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 125A.76, subdivision 2e.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Minnesota's special education cross subsidy aid program by adjusting the cross subsidy aid factor, which determines the percentage of special education costs that will be reimbursed by the state. Specifically, the bill increases the cross subsidy aid factor from 44 percent in fiscal year 2024-2025 to 50 percent in fiscal year 2026, and then to 54 percent for fiscal year 2027 and beyond. Cross subsidy aid is a mechanism that helps school districts offset the additional costs of providing special education services, which often exceed standard per-pupil funding. The bill also includes a placeholder for an appropriation section, indicating that funds will be allocated to support these increased special education aid payments, though the specific dollar amounts are not detailed in this version of the bill. The changes are set to take effect for special education aid beginning in fiscal year 2026, which means school districts will see gradually increasing state support for special education expenses over the next few years.
