HF1962 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

American Indian education aid requirement removed.

Related bill: SF2285

AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota bill, H.F. No. 1962, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.81, subdivision 2b. It aims to remove the requirement that an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee (AIPAC) must concur in order for a school district to receive American Indian education aid.

Currently, school districts or Tribal contract schools must have approval from the AIPAC if they wish to carry forward a portion of unspent American Indian education aid to the next fiscal year without a reduction. This bill would eliminate that requirement, meaning districts could carry forward and use the funds without needing AIPAC approval.

The bill was introduced by Representative Novotny, read in the House for the first time, and referred to the Committee on Education Policy for further consideration.
