Lease levy authority restoration for space necessary for graduation ceremonies

This bill restores the ability of Minnesota school districts to use tax levies to pay for renting space needed for high school graduation ceremonies. It amends existing state law to explicitly include graduation ceremonies as an approved purpose for lease levies, ensuring districts can secure necessary facilities for their graduating classes. The legislation also requires the Department of Education to approve lease costs for graduation facilities in 2027, regardless of when the lease agreement was finalized, providing flexibility for districts planning graduation events.
