Requirement removal for an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee to concur for a district to receive American Indian education aid
This bill removes a requirement that American Indian Parent Advisory Committees must concur before school districts can carry forward unused American Indian education aid funds to the next fiscal year. Currently, districts must get committee approval to carry forward up to half of unspent funds (per Minn. Stat. § 124D.81, subd. 2b). The bill amends this statute to eliminate the committee concurrence step, simplifying the process for districts. It directly affects school districts receiving American Indian education aid and their parent advisory committees. The change only applies to fund carry-forwards, not the initial receipt of aid.
