AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an allocation of $300,000 in 2026 from Minnesota's general fund to support a career pathways program at the Minnesota Virtual Academy, managed by the Independent School District No. 294 in Houston, Minnesota. The program is designed to provide education leading to certification as an emergency medical responder or technician. Funds can also be used for academic counseling and other support services to help students succeed in the program.

The program specifically aims to include students of diverse backgrounds, such as those of color, Indigenous, low-income, and those from underserved areas across Minnesota. The bill requires the school district to submit annual reports from 2027 to 2029 detailing the program's outcomes, including spending, student participation, and demographic data. These reports should also offer recommendations for enhancing career pathways programs statewide and boosting student participation.
