This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 124E.20, subdivision 1, to modify the general education revenue calculation for charter schools. It establishes that general education revenue will be calculated as if the charter school were a district, incorporating various allowances and adjustments. Notably, the bill introduces a new provision that specifies the safe schools aid for charter schools, which is set at $36 multiplied by the school's adjusted pupil units for the school year. This aid must be reserved and used for purposes defined in section 126C.44, subdivision 4.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous designation of paragraph (c) and renumbers the subsequent provisions accordingly. The changes aim to enhance funding for charter schools by including specific provisions for safe schools aid, thereby supporting their operational needs and ensuring a safer educational environment for students.
