AI Summary

This bill, concerning continued enrollment authorization for the 2025-2026 school year, amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 126C.05, subdivision 11, which deals with average daily membership and justifiable causes for student absences. Specifically, for the 2025-2026 school year only, the bill mandates that the commissioner, who is the state's chief education official, must permit school districts and charter schools to continue counting students in their average daily membership, which is a calculation used to determine state funding, if those students were enrolled before November 1, 2025, and have not enrolled in a different Minnesota school. This provision is intended to provide stability for students and schools during this specific academic year and is effective retroactively from November 1, 2025.
