Funding

How Minnesota funds schools

Minnesota funds districts mainly through General Education Revenue, built on a basic formula allowance set per pupil unit by the Legislature — $7,281 per pupil for 2024–25, now indexed to inflation. On top of the basic allowance the formula layers weighted components for compensatory (poverty), English-learner, special-education and sparsity needs, so a district’s total revenue reflects both enrollment and student characteristics.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Schl. District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
