127A.45, subdivision 2, paragraph (d), is 90 or greater, aid payments for the current
fiscal year to a charter school shall be of an equal amount on each of the 24 payment
dates. Notwithstanding section 127A.45, subdivision 3, if the current year aid payment
percentage under section 127A.45, subdivision 2, paragraph (d), is less than 90, aid
payments for the current fiscal year to a charter school shall be new text begin :

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) and section 127A.45, for a charter school ceasing
operation on or prior to June 30 of a school year, for the payment periods occurring after
the school ceases serving students, the commissioner shall withhold the estimated state aid
owed the school. The charter school board of directors and authorizer must submit to the
commissioner a closure plan under chapter 308A or 317A, and financial information about
the school's liabilities and assets. After receiving the closure plan, financial information,
an audit of pupil counts, documentation of lease expenditures, and monitoring of special
education expenditures, the commissioner may release cash withheld and may continue
regular payments up to the current year payment percentages if further amounts are
owed. If, based on audits and monitoring, the school received state aid in excess of the
amount owed, the commissioner shall retain aid withheld sufficient to eliminate the aid
overpayment. For a charter school ceasing operations prior to, or at the end of, a school
year, notwithstanding section 127A.45, subdivision 3, preliminary final payments may
be made after receiving the closure plan, audit of pupil counts, monitoring of special
education expenditures, documentation of lease expenditures, and school submission of
Uniform Financial Accounting and Reporting Standards (UFARS) financial data for the
final year of operation. Final payment may be made upon receipt of audited financial
statements under section 123B.77, subdivision 3.

(c) If a charter school fails to comply with the commissioner's directive to return,
for cause, federal or state funds administered by the department, the commissioner may
withhold an amount of state aid sufficient to satisfy the directive.

(d) If, within the timeline under section 471.425, a charter school fails to pay the state
of Minnesota, a school district, intermediate school district, or service cooperative after
receiving an undisputed invoice for goods and services, the commissioner may withhold
an amount of state aid sufficient to satisfy the claim and shall distribute the withheld
aid to the interested state agency, school district, intermediate school district, or service
cooperative. An interested state agency, school district, intermediate school district, or
education cooperative shall notify the commissioner when a charter school fails to pay an
undisputed invoice within 75 business days of when it received the original invoice.

(e) Notwithstanding section 127A.45, subdivision 3, and paragraph (a), 80 percent
of the start-up cost aid under subdivision 8 shall be paid within 45 days after the first day
of student attendance for that school year.

(f) In order to receive state aid payments under this subdivision, a charter school in
its first three years of operation must submit a school calendar in the form and manner
requested by the department and a quarterly report to the Department of Education. The
report must list each student by grade, show the student's start and end dates, if any,
with the charter school, and for any student participating in a learning year program,
the report must list the hours and times of learning year activities. The report must be
submitted not more than two weeks after the end of the calendar quarter to the department.
The department must develop a Web-based reporting form for charter schools to use
when submitting enrollment reports. A charter school in its fourth and subsequent year of
operation must submit a school calendar and enrollment information to the department in
the form and manner requested by the department.

(g) Notwithstanding sections 317A.701 to 317A.791, upon closure of a charter
school and satisfaction of creditors, cash and investment balances remaining shall be
returned to the state.

(h) A charter school must have a valid, signed contract under section 124D.10,
subdivision 6, on file at the Department of Education at least 15 days prior to the date of
first payment of state aid for the fiscal year.

(i) State aid entitlements shall be computed for a charter school only for the
portion of a school year for which it has a valid, signed contract under section 124D.10,
subdivision 6.

School food service fund.

(a) The expenses described in this subdivision
must be recorded as provided in this subdivision.

(b) In each district, the expenses for a school food service program for pupils must
be attributed to a school food service fund. Under a food service program, the school
food service may prepare or serve milk, meals, or snacks in connection with school or
community service activities.

(c) Revenues and expenditures for food service activities must be recorded in the
food service fund. The costs of processing applications, accounting for meals, preparing
and serving food, providing kitchen custodial services, and other expenses involving the
preparing of meals or the kitchen section of the lunchroom may be charged to the food
service fund or to the general fund of the district. The costs of lunchroom supervision,
lunchroom custodial services, lunchroom utilities, and other administrative costs of the
food service program must be charged to the general fund.

That portion of superintendent and fiscal manager costs that can be documented as
attributable to the food service program may be charged to the food service fund provided
that the school district does not employ or contract with a food service director or other
individual who manages the food service program, or food service management company.
If the cost of the superintendent or fiscal manager is charged to the food service fund,
the charge must be at a wage rate not to exceed the statewide average for food service
directors as determined by the department.

(d) Capital expenditures for the purchase of food service equipment must be made
from the general fund and not the food service fund, unless deleted text begin two conditions apply:
deleted text end

deleted text begin (1) deleted text end the unreserved balance in the food service fund at the end of the last fiscal year is
greater than the cost of the equipment to be purchased deleted text begin ; and deleted text end new text begin .
new text end

deleted text begin (2) the department has approved the purchase of the equipment.
deleted text end

(e) If the deleted text begin two conditions deleted text end new text begin condition new text end set out in paragraph (d) deleted text begin apply deleted text end new text begin applies new text end , the
equipment may be purchased from the food service fund.

(f) If a deficit in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year, and the deficit
is not eliminated by revenues from food service operations in the next fiscal year, then the
deficit must be eliminated by a permanent fund transfer from the general fund at the end of
that second fiscal year. However, if a district contracts with a food service management
company during the period in which the deficit has accrued, the deficit must be eliminated
by a payment from the food service management company.

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (f), a district may incur a deficit in the food service
fund for up to three years without making the permanent transfer if the district submits
to the commissioner by January 1 of the second fiscal year a plan for eliminating that
deficit at the end of the third fiscal year.

(h) If a surplus in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year for three
successive years, a district may recode for that fiscal year the costs of lunchroom
supervision, lunchroom custodial services, lunchroom utilities, and other administrative
costs of the food service program charged to the general fund according to paragraph (c)
and charge those costs to the food service fund in a total amount not to exceed the amount
of surplus in the food service fund.

subdivision to read:

new text begin Contact hours in cases of disruption of services. new text end

new text begin An adult basic
education program or consortium that has been subject to a service disruption may apply
to the commissioner in the form and manner established by the commissioner for an
adjusted number of contact hours. The program or consortium must demonstrate to the
commissioner's satisfaction that the loss in contact hours due to the service disruption was
outside of the control of the adult basic education program or its consortium and that the
program or consortium took reasonable actions to avoid the loss of contact hours. If the
commissioner approves the program's or consortium's request, the commissioner may
adjust the number of contact hours of the program and, if applicable, of the consortium,
but in no case may the adjusted contact hours yield an aid amount for a consortium
under subdivision 3, clause (2), greater than the most recent two-year average aid under
that clause.
