ActivEd Walkabouts program grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1176 appropriates $500,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund the ActivEd Walkabouts program. The program provides a physical activity-based learning platform teaching math, English, language arts, and literacy for students in prekindergarten through grade 5. Regional centers of excellence receive the funding to offer the program at no cost to schools, with priority given to schools identified for state accountability support and selected for geographic distribution across Minnesota. This bill directly affects Minnesota's K-5 schools and regional education centers through this specific grant program.
