AI Generated Summary

House File No. 57 is a proposed law in the state of Minnesota aimed at increasing financial aid specifically for special education. This bill intends to alleviate the burden of the costs that exceed the funding schools receive for special education, known as the "cross subsidy." The bill suggests amendments to the Minnesota Statutes that stipulate an increase in the percentage of aid schools receive over several years, starting from 6.43% in 2023 and gradually increasing to 54% by the year 2027. This means schools would receive a growing percentage of funding to help cover the deficit they face in special education spending. This proposed change represents a significant boost in support, aiming to better meet the financial needs associated with special education services.
