Minnesota Constitutional Amendment: Will voters approve an increase in funding to school districts?

Voters in Minnesota will see one constitutional amendment on the ballot this year concerning school funding.

The question will ask voters whether the Minnesota Constitution should be amended to increase the funding going to all school districts from the permanent school fund effective July 1, 2027.
