The House DFL E-12 budget makes honest investments in every student, in every public school with a 3% per-pupil funding increase in 2020, and another 2% in 2021. The House education budget also addresses special education funding shortfalls, enables schools to hire more student support staff, gives schools more tools to recruit and retain teachers of color, protects access to voluntary pre-K for over 4,000 of Minnesota’s earliest learners, and expands post-secondary opportunities for high school students.
