State and Federal Budget

Funding a school district is expensive and our students are worth every dollar. Public schools receive their funds from state and federal budgets. The district has established various funds in accordance with Minnesota Department of Education requirements. Our total district budget is roughly $158 million. Approximately 74% of that is our General Fund which is roughly $116 million.

Federal Covid Relief Funding

School districts received federal Covid relief dollars in three waves. Hopkins was allocated over $11 million and spent it on various critical items including PPE, ventilation upgrades, technology, wi-fi hot spots for families, paraprofessionals and staff who supported distance and hybrid learning, building VirtualEDU, and various other efforts to support students and families during the pandemic. We are grateful for these stimulus dollars which helped us sustain our staff and programs.
