Minnesota lawmakers have begun considering the potential impact on school funding in the state as President Donald Trump vows to eliminate the federal Department of Education. At a committee hearing on Tuesday, Feb. 4, staffers with the Minnesota Department of Education said the state is scheduled to receive $1.4 billion from the federal government in 2025, which makes up 10% of its total budget. Of that $1.4 billion, $233 million is budgeted to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which aims to “assist in meeting the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities.”
