School funding constitutional amendment
Minnesota voters faced a ballot question that asked: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to increase the funding going to all school districts from the permanent school fund, which is a fund that supports school districts without raising individual income or property taxes, effective July 1, 2027?"
In short, it asks voters to change how much Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund pays public schools. A "yes" vote would add an amendment to raise the payout rate to 4.5% of the fund's three-year rolling average value, an increase from 2.5% currently distributed to districts.
