Accessible school playgrounds grant funding provided, report required, and money appropriated.

Maddy summaryThis bill allocates $315,000 from the state's natural resources fund to help school districts build or improve accessible playgrounds. The funding specifically targets three districts in the Twin Cities area to upgrade equipment, create accessible pathways, and install specialized surface materials at designated elementary schools. To ensure the projects meet safety and accessibility standards, recipients must have their plans reviewed by certified specialists before or after construction. By January 2026, the districts receiving the money must submit a report detailing how the funds were spent and suggest ways other schools can enhance their playgrounds for greater inclusion.
