This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.81, subdivision 2b, by removing the requirement for an American Indian Parent Advisory Committee to concur for a school district to receive American Indian education aid. Specifically, the language that previously mandated the committee's concurrence has been deleted, allowing districts greater flexibility in managing their education aid without needing this approval.

Additionally, the bill maintains provisions that allow school districts or Tribal contract schools to carry forward and expend up to half of any unspent American Indian education aid in the following fiscal year, provided they adhere to certain conditions. These conditions include following the approved plan, ensuring the advisory committee is aware of the carry forward, using the funds in accordance with existing regulations, and reporting to the Department of Education by April 1.
