This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1491), authored by Representative Bennett, seeks to clarify the goals for education grants awarded by the Commissioner of Education. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 127A.20, subdivision 2, to require that grant applicants include a statement of their program's goals and use of funds. Additionally, it specifies that, where possible, these goals should align with Minnesota’s World’s Best Workforce initiative, comprehensive achievement and civic readiness objectives, and the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) accountability systems.
