School library aid allowable uses modifications
This bill modifies Minnesota's school library aid program to clarify what funds can be used for. It specifies that library aid must directly cover: salaries/benefits for library media specialists, electronic/computer/audiovisual equipment, information technology infrastructure, digital tools, and library furniture/supplies. The changes take effect for fiscal year 2026 and later, meaning current funding remains unaffected. School libraries receiving this state aid will be required to use funds only for these defined purposes. The bill does not change funding amounts or create new requirements beyond these spending restrictions.
