St. Louis Park Public Schools encourage families to share concerns about the current funding formula that funds Minnesota school districts. 

State funding has not kept up with inflation. While the 2023 education bill provided a historic overall increase in funding, two critical funding streams continued to lose ground to inflation.

Minnesota state’s per pupil funding formula: This formula determines the amount that schools are given from the state. The 2023 bill increased the formula by four percent for school year 23-24 and two percent for 24-25. 

That increase leaves the state’s per pupil funding formula $1,356 behind where it should be if it had kept pace with inflation since 2003–which was the year the Legislature shifted funding to state income and sales taxes.

Local optional revenue: This funding stream, which can be used for school districts has been frozen since 2014. If it had kept pace with inflation, we would be receiving $182 more per pupil.
