Evidence-based education grant goals clarified.

HF 1491 clarifies requirements for schools and districts applying for state education grants. It mandates that grant applicants must include a statement explaining how their program goals align with Minnesota's "world's best workforce" education framework and federal accountability systems under the Every Student Succeeds Act. This amendment to Minnesota Statutes section 127A.20, effective July 1, 2025, ensures grant applications explicitly connect proposed goals to established state and federal education standards. The bill does not create new funding but refines the application process for existing evidence-based education grants.
