An upcoming November vote would reportedly increase school funding without raising taxes
An upcoming November vote in Minnesota aims to amend the state constitution to increase school funding by allowing schools to receive a larger share of profits from the Permanent School Fund, which was established in 1858. The proposed change would raise the payout from 2% to 4.5% of the fund's profits, potentially doubling payments to schools without raising taxes.
