SF 3410 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain fund transfers for fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027 authorization provision and school board non-compliance with certain laws or rules authorization

SF 3410 allows Minnesota school districts and charter schools to transfer unassigned operating funds between accounts during fiscal years 2025-2027 without increasing state aid or property taxes, provided they adopt a written resolution, post it online, and notify the education commissioner. It also permits school boards to formally opt out of complying with specific state education laws or rules enacted after January 1, 2023 (such as those covering teacher pay or student records), following a recorded vote and public posting of the decision. The bill applies only to the 2024-2025, 2025-2026, and 2026-2027 school years. School boards must document all fund transfers and non-compliance decisions with the required notices. This bill directly affects school districts' budget flexibility and their ability to bypass certain state mandates during the specified period.
