Bill > SF3619

This bill appropriates $808,000 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of education, who will then provide a grant to the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Redwood County. This funding is specifically for the predesign and design phases of a new public charter school that will focus on Dakota language immersion for children from birth through fourth grade. This is a one-time appropriation, meaning it's not a recurring fund, and the money will be available until the school's design project is finished or canceled, following a specific state statute (Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642) that governs how capital project funds are managed. The bill will become effective the day after it is officially signed into law.
