💡 Where does Permanent School Fund money go?

Every public school district and charter school in Minnesota receives an annual distribution from the Permanent School Fund.

The amount each receives is based on student enrollment and income generated by the fund. During the 2025–26 school year, $63.8 million was distributed among Minnesota’s public school districts and charter schools.

These funds can support educational services such as instructional materials, curriculum, teacher salaries, extracurricular activities and school facilities.

It’s one more way Minnesota’s school trust lands provide ongoing support for public education.

Happy National School Lunch Week 😋 🍕🍎
October 12 - 16!

This week we're giving a big, heaping helping of THANKS👏 to our amazing lunch crew!

Every day, they show up early, cook with care, remember our kids' names, and make sure every student has the fuel they need to learn, grow, and have a great day.

They're more than lunch heroes.🦸‍♂️They're smiles in the line, encouragers at the register, and a big part of what makes our school feel like family.

Thank you for feeding our students' bodies AND their spirits!

🌲 Did you know Minnesota has land set aside to help support public schools?

Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund includes revenue generated from state school trust lands, including activities such as mineral development, timber sales and leases.

Those revenues become part of a permanent fund that benefits Minnesota public schools — including school districts and charter schools across the state.

The fund is designed to provide support for students today while remaining a financial resource for future generations.

📚 Learn more about Minnesota’s Permanent School Fund:

School trust lands are an important and broadly misunderstood category of land ownership. They were established in the Minnesota Constitution to be held in trust for a single and specific purpose: to generate revenue for public schools.
