SF1125 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Special education and English learner cross subsidy aid modification by the increase in the Consumer Price Index

AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill S.F. No. 1125 aims to adjust the funding for special education and English learner programs in Minnesota. It proposes to increase the aid based on the Consumer Price Index, which helps match funding to the cost of living and inflation rates. Changes include increments in revenues and subsidy factors for English learner programs over the years, beginning in 2024 through to 2028 and beyond. Specific financial figures and factors are detailed for different fiscal years, ensuring that funding evolves with economic conditions. Additionally, the bill sets a limit on when English learner pupils can generate state aid, specifying that it ends when they achieve the required score on state assessments. The overall goal is to better support the financial needs of educational programs for special education and English learners by tying aid increases to inflation.
