This bill appropriates funds for grants to intermediate school districts in Minnesota to support registered special education apprenticeship programs. Specifically, it allocates $740,000 annually to Intermediate School Districts Nos. 287, 288, 916, and 917, which must utilize the funds for various program-related expenses. These expenses include oversight and administrative costs, stipends and tuition for apprentices, mentor teacher stipends, and costs for substitute teachers.

Additionally, the bill allows for up to $40,000 of the total appropriation to be used for grant administration, overriding a specific provision in Minnesota Statutes regarding grant management. This funding aims to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of special education apprenticeship programs within the designated school districts, ultimately benefiting both the apprentices and the educational institutions involved.
