This bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Education for a grant to the Kids In Need Foundation. The grant aims to support programs and activities that reduce absenteeism, foster school engagement, and improve student outcomes, particularly for low-income students and students of color in schools where at least half of the enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

The bill outlines specific eligible uses for the grant, including providing educational supplies, increasing access to the Kids In Need Foundation's Teacher Resource Center, enhancing volunteer space, and supporting additional supply distributions to teachers and students. Additionally, it allows for a percentage of the appropriation to be used for grant administration, despite existing statutory limitations, and specifies that this is a one-time appropriation.
