SF1323

This bill, titled S.F. No. 1323, proposes changes to the Minnesota Math Corps program. It seeks to modify the mission of the program to provide ServeMinnesota AmeriCorps members with a data-based problem-solving model which would be used to support elementary and middle school students and their teachers in mathematics instruction. The goal is to help students develop foundational math skills that align with state academic standards and prepare them for long-term success in the workforce. Additionally, the bill calls for the use of evidence-based methods to assess and enhance student learning outcomes.

The bill also mandates that the commission overseeing the program submit a biennial (every two years) report to the legislative committees responsible for education. This report should include data that evaluates the effectiveness of the program.

Finally, the bill involves appropriating funds to implement these changes, although the specific amount and details of funding are not specified in the provided text.
