East Grand Forks; education learning center bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3757 appropriates $6.5 million from state bonds to fund a new education learning center in East Grand Forks for students with autism, cognitive disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, and other special needs. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds to cover the full cost, eliminating the need for local matching funds. This center will house a regional Level IV special education program under Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.695. The funding directly supports students requiring specialized educational services in East Grand Forks and surrounding areas.
