Section 1.
Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 121A.19, is amended to read:
121A.19 DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING AID.
Each school year, the state must pay a district for each child or student screened by
the district according to the requirements of section 121A.17. The amount of state aid
for each child or student screened shall be: (1) deleted text begin $50deleted text end new text begin $75new text end for a child screened at age three;
(2) deleted text begin $40deleted text end new text begin $70new text end for a child screened at age four; (3) deleted text begin $30deleted text end new text begin $65new text end for a child screened at age five
or six prior to kindergarten; and (4) $30 for a student screened within 30 days after first
enrolling in a public school kindergarten if the student has not previously been screened
according to the requirements of section 121A.17. If this amount of aid is insufficient,
the district may permanently transfer from the general fund an amount that, when added
to the aid, is sufficient. Developmental screening aid shall not be paid for any student
who is screened more than 30 days after the first day of attendance at a public school
kindergarten, except if a student transfers to another public school kindergarten within
30 days after first enrolling in a Minnesota public school kindergarten program. In this
case, if the student has not been screened, the district to which the student transfers may
receive developmental screening aid for screening that student when the screening is
performed within 30 days of the transfer date.
