The bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Education for a grant to the Kids In Need Foundation. This grant aims to support programs and activities that reduce absenteeism, foster school engagement, enhance learning interest, improve student grades, and boost graduation rates. The funding is specifically targeted at Minnesota schools where at least half of the enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, with an emphasis on low-income students and students of color.

Eligible uses of the grant include providing educational supplies for the Kids In Need Foundation's Rural and Indigenous School Equity program, increasing access to the Teacher Resource Center and training facility, enhancing volunteer space, and supporting additional supply distributions to teachers and students. The bill also allows for a percentage of the appropriation to be used for grant administration, notwithstanding existing statutes, and specifies that this is a one-time appropriation.
