Literacy interventions grant provided, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 1543 appropriates $450,000 annually (2026-2027) to the Dyslexia Institute of Minnesota to provide free, evidence-based literacy interventions for students reading below grade level in public schools where most students qualify for free/reduced-price meals. The funds must cover tutor training, materials, program delivery, and administration. The Institute is required to submit annual reports to education committees by January 15 each year (until 2028), detailing how funds were used and progress in improving student literacy. This bill directly supports struggling readers in high-need school districts through targeted funding and accountability.
