Historic school building preservation grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 567 provides state funding for historic school building preservation grants to eligible school districts and the Minnesota State Academies for the Deaf and the Blind. It appropriates money for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, allowing recipients to receive up to $300,000 per eligible building that is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places and currently used for elementary or secondary education. Funds must be used exclusively for maintaining and preventing deterioration of these historic buildings, with any unused 2026 funds carrying over to 2027. The bill establishes a clear eligibility framework and funding structure for preserving historically significant school facilities.
