What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Minnesota legislators are advancing a constitutional amendment concerning the Permanent School Fund for a November 3rd ballot. The fund, established in 1858, is a perpetual trust supported by revenue from state school trust lands and investments, currently holding about $2.3 billion. The proposal would modernize how annual distributions are calculated, potentially increasing the allocation from 2 to 2.5% to roughly 4.5% of the fund’s three-year average market value.

The amendment would increase the annual funding for school districts in Minnesota without requiring an increase in individual income or property taxes. Under the proposed change, schools could receive $101 per student starting in July 2027, up from the current rate of about $68 per student.
