Increase safe schools revenue to school districts
SF 3713 increases school safety funding by establishing a new state aid of $100 per student (adjusted pupil unit) for all Minnesota public school districts, charter schools, and cooperative units starting in fiscal year 2027. This replaces the previous system by combining the state aid with existing local safe schools levies ($36 per student) to create total safe schools revenue. Funds must be used for specific safety purposes including security personnel, mental health services, facility upgrades, cybersecurity, and violence prevention programs. The bill directly affects all Minnesota public schools receiving state education funding, with implementation beginning in 2027.
