Office of Governor Mark Dayton

Emergency Aid for Minnesota Schools

Budget for a Better Minnesota
Dozens of school districts across Minnesota are facing immediate budget deficits that could result in
layoffs for hundreds of teachers, the elimination of extracurricular activities, and larger class sizes in
the coming year. Governor Dayton’s proposal would invest $137.9 million in one-time funding to
increase school resources by 2 percent in the coming year, amounting to an additional $126 for every
student in Minnesota.

Below, see how local school districts across Minnesota would benefit from Governor Dayton’s
Emergency School Aid proposal.
