The GOP-led Minnesota Senate Education Committee reviewed on Tuesday its budget bill that includes measures ranging from student discipline to school lunch debt.

The bill includes roughly $300 million in new education spending over the next two years, but no increase to the general education funding formula, which is the biggest piece of district funding.

The Minnesota House Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party released its education budget bill Monday, which includes $722 million in new spending and a 2% increase to the funding formula. Legislators must pass a two-year budget before the session ends in mid-May, or they’ll have to return to the Capitol over the summer.

Here are some measures included in the Senate’s 136-page education bill.
