A proposed increase in public school funding is set to appear on the ballot in November. Lawmakers from both the DFL and Republican parties have joined forces with educators to advocate for the measure. They are seeking to allocate more funds through the state's permanent school fund. The amount of additional funding would vary by school district, with smaller districts potentially receiving a few thousand extra dollars and larger districts possibly getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Further details about the proposal are available. A news conference was held to promote the measure, with participants encouraging support for the increase in funding.
