The bill S.F. No. 949 seeks to allocate funds from the Minnesota general budget to the Department of Education for the purpose of supporting special education apprenticeship programs in certain intermediate school districts. If enacted, this legislation would provide grants totaling just over $740,000 annually to four specified intermediate school districts (Nos. 287, 288, 916, and 917).
