Bill > SF2502

This bill appropriates $150,000 per year for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Department of Education specifically for a grant to Metro Deaf School. The grant is designed to support services for young children who have primary disabilities of being deaf, deafblind, or hard-of-hearing, and who are not currently eligible for funding under an existing statutory provision (Minnesota Statutes, section 124E.11, paragraph (h)). The bill explicitly states that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not guaranteed to continue beyond these two fiscal years. The purpose of the grant appears to be providing targeted educational support for a specific group of children with hearing-related disabilities who might otherwise lack access to specialized educational services.
