AI Generated Summary

The Senate SF No 609 bill, introduced in Minnesota, focuses on education policy by allowing community volunteers to assist in public schools. The bill aims to support students in developing reading skills by having volunteers come to the schools before or after regular classes. These volunteers can read to students, listen to students read, or help them choose books. However, volunteers must pass a background check and be supervised by a school principal or their appointed representative while on school premises. This initiative is only feasible when there is sufficient space and supervisory staff available at the school.
