MTSS and COMPASS framework codified from session law to statutes.

HF 2194 codifies Minnesota’s existing MTSS (Multitiered System of Support) and COMPASS (Collaborative Minnesota Partnerships to Advance Student Success) frameworks into permanent state law, amending Minnesota Statutes section 121A.201. The bill requires all Minnesota school districts and charter schools to implement MTSS through state-provided training and support via the Department of Education’s COMPASS team and regional service cooperatives, beginning July 1, 2023. Key provisions include mandatory tiered academic and behavioral support (Tier 1 core, Tier 2 supplemental, Tier 3 intensive), evidence-based dyslexia screening, data-driven decision-making processes, and annual reporting on implementation. The law also specifies that state funding must support MTSS coordination, professional development, and streamlined reporting through the "One Plan" system.
