The bill S.F. No. 1290 relates to education finance and specifies how a particular grant can be used by Independent School District No. 482 in Little Falls, Minnesota. The grant, totaling $450,000, is for an aeronautics and commercial over-the-road technical program.

The money is allowed to be spent on equipment, staffing, travel, and contracted services for the technical program. The school district is required to provide a detailed report by February 1, 2027, to the relevant legislative committees. This report must include information on the number and demographics of students participating, descriptions of activities, partnerships with other educational and private entities, and recommendations on how to improve such programs statewide.

In addition, the legislation clarifies that any expenditures made by the district for this program between May 24, 2023, and the official grant award date can be reimbursed from the grant funds. It also states that this grant is a one-time appropriation available until June 30, 2026.
