Minnesota Permanent School Fund
What is Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund?
Created when Minnesota became a state in 1858, the fund provides annual support to public school districts and charter schools, including Mankato Area Public Schools.
This November, voters will consider a constitutional amendment that would change how annual distributions from the fund are calculated. The proposal does not raise taxes.

WALK A THON FOLLOW UP
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Roosevelt Walk-A-Thon a success! Together, we've raised $12,300.66, bringing us incredibly close to our $12,500 goal!
A special thank you to our volunteers who helped during the event, our teachers and staff for collecting donations and coordinating with families, and everyone who donated or helped spread the word. We couldn't have done it without you!
There's still time to donate! We're keeping online donations open, and you can still turn in any remaining donation envelopes at school. Every contribution helps us reach our goal and support Roosevelt students!
