2.6 	has been approved by the commissioner under section 124D.126.
2.7 	(b) A school board's annual school calendar may include plans for up to five days of 
2.8 	instruction provided through online instruction due to inclement weather. The inclement 
2.9 	weather plans must be developed according to section 120A.414.

2.10 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 123B.92, subdivision 11, is amended 
2.11 	to read:
2.12 		Subd. 11.Area learning center transportation aid. (a) A district or cooperative unit 
2.13 	that provides transportation of pupils to and from an area learning center program established 
2.14 	under section 123A.05 is eligible for state aid to reimburse the additional costs of 
2.15 	transportation during the preceding fiscal year.
2.16 	(b) A district or cooperative unit may apply to the commissioner of education for state 
2.17 	aid to reimburse the costs of transporting pupils who are enrolled in an area learning center 
2.18 	program established under section 123A.05 during the preceding fiscal year. The 
2.19 	commissioner shall develop the form and manner of applications for state aid, the criteria 
2.20 	to determine when transportation is necessary, and the accounting procedure to determine 
2.21 	excess costs. In determining aid amounts, the commissioner shall consider other revenue 
2.22 	received by the district or cooperative unit for transportation for area learning center purposes.
2.23 	(c) The total aid entitlement for this section is $1,000,000 each year. The commissioner

2.25 	cooperative unit.

2.26 	Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 124D.65, subdivision 5, is amended 
2.27 	to read:
2.28 		Subd. 5.School district EL revenue. (a) For fiscal year 2024 through fiscal year 2026, 
2.29 	a district's English learner programs revenue equals the sum of:
2.30 	(1) the product of (i) $1,228, and (ii) the greater of 20 or the adjusted average daily 
2.31 	membership of eligible English learners enrolled in the district during the current fiscal 
2.32 	year; and
3.1 	(2) $436 times the English learner pupil units under section 126C.05, subdivision 17.
3.2 	(b) For fiscal year 2027 and later, a district's English learner programs revenue equals 
3.3 	the sum of:
3.4 	(1) the product of (i) $1,775, and (ii) the greater of 20 or the adjusted average daily 
3.5 	membership of eligible English learners enrolled in the district during the current fiscal 
3.6 	year;
3.7 	(2) $630 times the English learner pupil units under section 126C.05, subdivision 17; 
3.8 	and
3.9 	(3) the district's English learner cross subsidy aid. A district's English learner cross 
3.10 	subsidy aid under paragraph (c) equals 25 percent of the district's English learner cross 
3.11 	subsidy under paragraph (c) for fiscal year 2027 and later.
3.12 	(c) A district's English learner cross subsidy aid equals the greater of zero or the difference 
3.13 	between the district's expenditures for qualifying English learner services for the second 
3.14 	previous year and the district's English learner revenue for the second previous year.
3.15 	"Qualifying English learner services" means the services necessary to implement the 
3.16 	Language Instruction Educational Program for students identified as English learners under 
3.17 	sections 124D.58 to 124D.65. Only expenditures that both address the English language 
3.18 	development standards in Minnesota Rules, parts 3501.1200 and 3501.1210, which may 
3.19 	include home language instruction, and are supplemental to the cost of core content 
3.20 	instruction may be included as expenditures for qualifying English learner services. 
3.21 	Expenditures do not include costs related to construction, indirect costs, core content 
3.22 	instruction, or core administrative personnel.
3.23 	(d) A pupil ceases to generate state English learner aid in the school year following the 
3.24 	school year in which the pupil attains the state cutoff score on a commissioner-provided 
3.25 	assessment that measures the pupil's emerging academic English.

3.26 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 124D.995, subdivision 3, is amended

3.31 	123A.24, subdivision 2; the Perpich Center for Arts Education; and the Minnesota State 
3.32 	Academies for costs associated with providing unemployment benefits to school employees 
3.33 	under section 268.085, subdivision 7, paragraph (b).
4.1 	(b) The Perpich Center for Arts Education and the Minnesota State Academies may only 
4.2 	apply to the commissioner for reimbursement of unemployment insurance amounts in excess 
4.3 	of the amounts specifically identified in their annual agency appropriations.
4.4 	(c) If the amount in the account is insufficient, the commissioner must proportionately 
4.5 	reduce the aid payment to each recipient. Aid payments must be paid 100 90 percent in the 
4.6 	current year and 10 percent in the following year.

4.7 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 126C.05, subdivision 15, is amended to read:
4.8 		Subd. 15.Learning year pupil units. (a) When a pupil is enrolled in a learning year 
4.9 	program under section 124D.128, an area learning center or an alternative learning program 
4.10 	approved by the commissioner under sections 123A.05 and 123A.06, or a contract alternative 
4.11 	program under section 124D.68, subdivision 3, paragraph (d), or subdivision 4, for more 
4.12 	than 1,020 hours in a school year for a secondary student, more than 935 hours in a school 
4.13 	year for an elementary student, more than 850 hours in a school year for a kindergarten 
4.14 	student without a disability in an all-day kindergarten program, or more than 425 hours in 
4.15 	a school year for a half-day kindergarten student without a disability, that pupil may be 
4.16 	counted as more than one pupil in average daily membership for purposes of section 126C.10, 
4.17 	subdivision 2a. The amount in excess of one pupil must be determined by the ratio of the 
4.18 	number of hours of instruction provided to that pupil in excess of: (i) the greater of 1,020 
4.19 	hours or the number of hours required for a full-time secondary pupil in the district to 1,020 
4.20 	for a secondary pupil; (ii) the greater of 935 hours or the number of hours required for a 
4.21 	full-time elementary pupil in the district to 935 for an elementary pupil in grades 1 through 
4.22 	6; and (iii) the greater of 850 hours or the number of hours required for a full-time 
4.23 	kindergarten student without a disability in the district to 850 for a kindergarten student 
4.24 	without a disability. Hours that occur after the close of the instructional year in June shall 
4.25 	be attributable to the following fiscal year. A student in kindergarten or grades 1 through 
4.26 	12 must not be counted as more than 1.2 pupils in average daily membership under this 
4.27 	subdivision.
4.28 	(b)(i) To receive general education revenue for a pupil in an area learning center or 
4.29 	alternative learning program that has an independent study component, a district must meet 
4.30 	the requirements in this paragraph. The district must develop, for the pupil, a continual 
4.31 	learning plan consistent with section 124D.128, subdivision 3. Each school district that has 
4.32 	an area learning center or alternative learning program must reserve revenue in an amount 
4.33 	equal to at least 90 and not more than 100 percent of the district average general education 
4.34 	revenue per pupil unit, minus an amount equal to the product of the formula allowance 
5.1 	according to section 126C.10, subdivision 2, times .0466, calculated without basic skills 
5.2 	revenue, local optional revenue, and transportation sparsity revenue, times the number of 
5.3 	pupil units generated by students attending an area learning center or alternative learning 
5.4 	program. The amount of reserved revenue available under this subdivision may only be 
5.5 	spent for program costs associated with the area learning center or alternative learning 
5.6 	program. Basic skills revenue generated according to section 126C.10, subdivision 4, by 
5.7 	pupils attending the eligible program must be allocated to the program.
5.8 	(ii) General education revenue for a pupil in a state-approved alternative program without 
5.9 	an independent study component must be prorated for a pupil participating for less than a 
5.10 	full year, or its equivalent. The district must develop a continual learning plan for the pupil, 
5.11 	consistent with section 124D.128, subdivision 3. Each school district that has an area learning 
5.12 	center or alternative learning program must reserve revenue in an amount equal to at least 
5.13 	90 and not more than 100 percent of the district average general education revenue per pupil 
5.14 	unit, minus an amount equal to the product of the formula allowance according to section 
5.15 	126C.10, subdivision 2, times .0466, calculated without basic skills revenue, local optional 
5.16 	revenue, and transportation sparsity revenue, times the number of pupil units generated by 
5.17 	students attending an area learning center or alternative learning program. The amount of 
5.18 	reserved revenue available under this subdivision may only be spent for program costs 
5.19 	associated with the area learning center or alternative learning program. Basic skills revenue 
5.20 	generated according to section 126C.10, subdivision 4, by pupils attending the eligible 
5.21 	program must be allocated to the program.
5.22 	(iii) General education revenue for a pupil in a state-approved alternative program that 
5.23 	has an independent study component must be paid for each hour of teacher contact time 
5.24 	and each hour of independent study time completed toward a credit or graduation standards 
5.25 	necessary for graduation. Average daily membership for a pupil shall equal the number of 
5.26 	hours of teacher contact time and independent study time divided by 1,020.
5.27 	(iv) For a state-approved alternative program having an independent study component, 
5.28 	the commissioner shall require a description of the courses in the program, the kinds of 
5.29 	independent study involved, the expected learning outcomes of the courses, and the means 
5.30 	of measuring student performance against the expected outcomes.

5.31 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 126C.10, subdivision 2e, is amended 
5.32 	to read:
5.33 		Subd. 2e.Local optional revenue. (a) Local optional revenue for a school district equals 
5.34 	the sum of the district's first tier local optional revenue and second tier local optional revenue. 
6.1 	A district's first tier local optional revenue equals $300 times the adjusted pupil units of the 
6.2 	district for that school year. A district's second tier local optional revenue equals $424 times 
6.3 	the adjusted pupil units of the district for that school year.
6.4 	(b) A district's local optional levy equals the sum of the first tier local optional levy and 
6.5 	the second tier local optional levy.
6.6 	(c) A district's first tier local optional levy equals the district's first tier local optional 
6.7 	revenue times the lesser of one or the ratio of the district's referendum market value per 
6.8 	resident pupil unit to $880,000.
6.9 	(d) For fiscal year 2023, a district's second tier local optional levy equals the district's 
6.10 	second tier local optional revenue times the lesser of one or the ratio of the district's 
6.11 	referendum market value per resident pupil unit to $548,842. For fiscal year 2024, a district's 
6.12 	second tier local optional levy equals the district's second tier local optional revenue times 
6.13 	the lesser of one or the ratio of the district's referendum market value per resident pupil unit 
6.14 	to $510,000. For fiscal year 2025, a district's second tier local optional levy equals the 
6.15 	district's second tier local optional revenue times the lesser of one or the ratio of the district's 
6.16 	referendum market value per resident pupil unit to $587,244 $626,450. For fiscal year 2026, 
6.17 	a district's second tier local optional levy equals the district's second tier local optional 
6.18 	revenue times the lesser of one or the ratio of the district's referendum market value per 
6.19 	resident pupil unit to $642,038. For fiscal year 2027 and later, a district's second tier local 
6.20 	optional levy equals the district's second tier local optional revenue times the lesser of one 
6.21 	or the ratio of the district's referendum market value per resident pupil unit to $671,345.
6.22 	(e) The local optional levy must be spread on referendum market value. A district may 
6.23 	levy less than the permitted amount.
6.24 	(f) A district's local optional aid equals its local optional revenue minus its local optional 
6.25 	levy. If a district's actual levy for first or second tier local optional revenue is less than its 
6.26 	maximum levy limit for that tier, its aid must be proportionately reduced.

6.27 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2023 Supplement, section 126C.10, subdivision 3, is amended 
6.28 	to read:
6.29 		Subd. 3.Compensatory education revenue. (a) For fiscal year 2024, the compensatory

6.33 	for each building in the district and the amounts designated under Laws 2015, First Special 
7.1 	Session chapter 3, article 2, section 70, subdivision 8, for fiscal year 2017. Revenue shall 
7.2 	be paid to the district and must be allocated according to section 126C.15, subdivision 2.
7.3 	(b) For fiscal year 2025, compensatory revenue must be calculated under Laws 2023, 
7.4 	chapter 18, section 3.
7.5 	(c) For fiscal year 2026 and later, the compensatory education revenue for each building 
7.6 	in the district equals its compensatory pupils multiplied by the building compensatory 
7.7 	allowance. Revenue shall be paid to the district and must be allocated according to section 
7.8 	126C.15, subdivision 2.
7.9 	(d) When the district contracting with an alternative program under section 124D.69 
7.10 	changes prior to the start of a school year, the compensatory revenue generated by pupils 
7.11 	attending the program shall be paid to the district contracting with the alternative program 
7.12 	for the current school year, and shall not be paid to the district contracting with the alternative 
7.13 	program for the prior school year.
7.14 	(e) When the fiscal agent district for an area learning center changes prior to the start of 
7.15 	a school year, the compensatory revenue shall be paid to the fiscal agent district for the 
7.16 	current school year, and shall not be paid to the fiscal agent district for the prior school year.

7.18 	124D.151, charter schools, and contracted alternative programs in the first year of operation, 
7.19 	compensatory education revenue must be computed using data for the current fiscal year. 
7.20 	If the voluntary prekindergarten program, charter school, or contracted alternative program 
7.21 	begins operation after October 1, compensatory education revenue must be computed based 
7.22 	on pupils enrolled on an alternate date determined by the commissioner, and the 
7.23 	compensatory education revenue must be prorated based on the ratio of the number of days 
7.24 	of student instruction to 170 days.

7.26 	(d) (c) results in statewide revenue of less than $838,947,000, additional revenue must be 
7.27 	provided to each building in a manner prescribed by the commissioner of education until 
7.28 	total statewide revenue equals $838,947,000.

7.30 	(d) (c) results in statewide revenue of less than $857,152,000, additional revenue must be 
7.31 	provided to each building in a manner prescribed by the commissioner of education until 
7.32 	total statewide revenue equals $857,152,000.

8.6 	times the ratio of the formula allowance under section 126C.10, subdivision 2, for the current 
8.7 	fiscal year to the formula allowance under section 126C.10, subdivision 2, for the prior 
8.8 	fiscal year, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
8.9 	(b) For fiscal year 2026 and later, the statewide compensatory allowance equals the 
8.10 	statewide compensatory allowance in effect for the prior fiscal year times the ratio of the
