Strategies:


One-Room School House

This program provides aid of $65,000 each year to the Warroad school district to assist with expenses related to the Angle Inlet school. This program was implemented in FY 1995 for the Warroad school district to open and operate a one-room schoolhouse at Angle Inlet. This program funds a historic Minnesota institution and protecting it is important to Minnesota’s history and culture. Angle Inlet is located in an extremely isolated and remote portion of the state on the Red Lake reservation. As such, there is no property tax base to draw from. The Angle Inlet school is vital to ensuring students in this remote location receive quality educational services.

Disaster Funds (M.S. 12A.06)

This program provides aid to School Districts experiencing a natural disaster. Disaster enrollment impact aid assists districts with loss of revenue experienced when pupil units decline after a disaster. Disaster relief facilities grants assist districts with costs associated with facility damage that is not reimbursed by FEMA or district insurance. Disaster relief operating grants assist districts with additional operating costs associated with the disaster, and pupil transportation aid assists districts with increased pupil transportation costs due to expanded busing or change in routes due to the disaster.


Results:


The Angle Inlet school continues to provide education services to its community despite its remote location. School districts that experience declared natural disasters receive state assistance to help with unexpected costs or revenue loss.
