The bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the Department of Education for a grant to the Kids In Need Foundation, aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for students in Minnesota. Specifically, the grant is intended to support programs that reduce absenteeism, foster school engagement, and improve both student grades and graduation rates. The focus is on schools where at least half of the enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, particularly targeting low-income students and students of color.

The grant will be utilized for various purposes, including providing educational supplies through the Kids In Need Foundation's Rural and Indigenous School Equity program, increasing access to the Teacher Resource Center, enhancing volunteer spaces, and supporting additional supply distributions to teachers and students. Additionally, the bill allows for a percentage of the appropriation to be allocated for grant administration, and it specifies that this funding is a one-time appropriation.
