School-age care programs to provide services to certain eligible prekindergarten students authorization

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to expand eligibility for school-age care programs. It allows these programs to serve prekindergarten students who qualify under specific criteria: children with disabilities (per Minn. Stat. §125A.02), children facing temporary family challenges, or kindergarten-aged children already enrolled in school. The change directly affects school districts and community providers offering school-age care, enabling them to include these pre-K students in their services. The policy update modifies the existing definition of "eligible children" in statute §124D.19, subdivision 11, without altering program structure or funding mechanisms.
