The bill put forward in the Minnesota House of Representatives aims to modify existing legislation on education finance specifically centered around student support personnel aid. This modification expands the permitted uses of the aid to enhance student support services. These services can include hiring or contracting personnel, and the costs related to transportation, equipment, materials, communications, and personnel training.

The aid can be used for: 1. Hiring new staff for student support services or enhancing part-time positions to full-time. 2. Making temporary positions, created with one-time funds from federal relief acts, permanent. 3. If unable to hire directly due to a lack of applicants, the funds can also be used to contract licensed professionals such as school counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, or chemical dependency counselors.

In essence, this bill allows more flexibility in how schools can use certain financial aid to bolster or maintain their student support staff, adapting to varying needs and resources across different school districts.
