AI Generated Summary

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). These districts are expected to use the funds to cover various aspects of their special education apprenticeship programs, including program oversight, mentor stipends, tuition fees, and costs associated with substitute teachers. A portion of the allocated funds (up to $40,000) can be used specifically for the administration of the grants.
