The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 124D.20, to clarify the aid and levy amounts for community education programs. It establishes that the general community education revenue for a district will be calculated based on a new formula starting in fiscal year 2025, which replaces the previous fixed amount of $5.42 for fiscal years 2007 through 2024. Additionally, the youth after-school enrichment revenue is redefined to include specific calculations based on district population, with a cap for districts with populations exceeding 10,000.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the total community education levy, allowing districts to levy a maximum tax rate that will be adjusted from the previous rate of 0.94 percent through fiscal year 2024 to a new percentage starting in fiscal year 2027. This change aims to ensure that the total community education levy does not exceed the total community education revenue, aligning the funding structure with current educational needs and population changes.
