The bill proposes appropriations for the Department of Education to fund registered special education apprenticeship programs through grants to specific intermediate school districts in Minnesota. 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.
