Over the next several weeks, you may hear more about Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund and a related constitutional amendment that will appear on the November ballot. But what exactly is the Permanent School Fund? The fund has a long history in Minnesota and was established to provide an ongoing source of financial support for public education. Revenue generated from Minnesota’s School Trust Lands and investments helps grow the fund, with earnings distributed to public school districts across the state. As Election Day approaches, we’ll be sharing information to help our community better understand the fund, how it supports Minnesota schools and what the proposed amendment would change.
