SF82 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Consolidation transition aid increase for school districts provision
Related bill: HF827
AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill proposes to increase the financial support provided to school districts in Minnesota that are going through a consolidation process. Specifically, it changes how much money these districts receive in the year they consolidate and the following year. The aid is calculated based on the number of students in the district, with specific caps on the maximum number of students considered for this calculation. If the total money allocated for this purpose isn't enough to cover every district, the bill prioritizes funding for districts in their first year after consolidation.
