Bill > SF3012

This bill appropriates funds for neighborhood partnership grants through the Minnesota Department of Education across fiscal years 2026 and 2027, targeting education and community support programs. Specifically, the bill allocates $2,600,000 each year for neighborhood partnership grants, with half going to the Northside Achievement Zone and half to the St. Paul Promise Neighborhood. An additional $1,400,000 annually is designated for regional neighborhood partnership grants, distributed among seven specific programs in different Minnesota communities such as Northfield, Red Wing, St. Cloud, Austin, Rochester, and St. Louis Park. The bill also includes a $900,000 annual allocation for one-time regional neighborhood partnership grants, which covers the same seven programs plus the Northside Achievement Zone and St. Paul Promise Neighborhood. A separate emerging partnership grant provision allows for initial planning and development of new education partnership program locations, with grants to be awarded by the education commissioner to programs serving historically underserved students, prioritizing geographic and demographic diversity. The bill ensures base funding continues for future years and allows any unspent fiscal year 2026 funds to be used in fiscal year 2027.
