The bill proposes appropriations for P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) implementation grants, allocating funds from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Education for specified fiscal years. It establishes a framework for these grants under Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 124D.093, subdivision 5. Notably, the bill designates $500,000 each year for a grant to a public-private partnership involving Independent School District No. 535 in Rochester. Additionally, it allows the Department of Education to retain a portion of the funds for administrative costs and ensures that any unspent balance from fiscal year 2026 can be carried over to fiscal year 2027.

Furthermore, the bill sets a base funding amount of $2,625,000 for fiscal year 2028 and beyond, with a minimum of $500,000 allocated annually for the support grant to the same public-private partnership in Rochester. This structured funding aims to enhance educational opportunities through the P-TECH program, fostering collaboration between public and private entities to support student success in technology and early college education.
