I'd be curious to know how the public school districts that receive integration dollars are spending that money. In the current crunch of money, how many are diverting it to budget items to keep braod programs at their current level rather than as the law intends? Are you aware if your home district maintains the funds in a separate budget as required?
Here is the link to the state statute on integration revenue. It says, near its beginning, that "Integration revenue under this section must be used for programs established under a desegregation plan filed with the Department of Education according to Minnesota Rules, parts 3535.0100 to 3535.0180, or under court order. The revenue must be used to create or enhance learning opportunities which are designed to provide opportunities for students to have increased interracial contacts through classroom experiences, staff initiatives, and other educationally related programs." Are our school districts using Integration Revenue for purposes following a desgregation plan filed with the department of Education that accomplishes the intents noted here?
