Minnesota SF903 amends nonpublic pupil aid to include elementary counseling services for nonpublic school pupils.

Minnesota SF903 modifies nonpublic pupil aid to include elementary counseling services for nonpublic school pupils. It mandates that districts or intermediary service areas provide these services upon request, aligning with the services offered to public school pupils. The allotment for these services is capped based on the average expenditure per public school pupil. The bill also adjusts the allotment for secondary pupils, ensuring it does not exceed the average expenditure per public school secondary pupil. This change is effective for state aid in fiscal year 2026 and later.
