AI Generated Summary
This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, aims to change the way schools are funded for safety measures. It proposes creating a new form of financial support called "safe schools aid" which would replace the existing "student support personnel aid." The new aid will be calculated based both on direct state aid and local taxation (levy). By amending the relevant section of the Minnesota Statutes, this bill intends to provide a more defined and potentially increased funding stream for school districts, charter schools, and cooperative units to enhance safety measures. Additionally, it involves repealing an older section of the statutes related to student support, indicating a shift in funding priorities towards direct school safety initiatives.
