Minnesota Permanent School Fund Ammendment

As we approach the November election, Minnesota voters will see a constitutional amendment on the ballot related to the state’s Permanent School Fund. Because it has the potential to impact funding for Morris Area Schools, we wanted to share factual information about the proposal.

Minnesota voters will decide on a 2026 constitutional amendment that would modernize how the state’s Permanent School Fund distributes revenue to public schools while preserving the fund for future generations.

Four things every resident should know:

• This proposal does not raise taxes.
• The Permanent School Fund already exists.
• The amendment updates how revenue from the fund is distributed to schools.
• If approved, the change is projected to provide approximately $40,000 in additional funding each year for Morris Area Schools.
