Commissioner of education directed to amend the state's accountability plan.

HF 3120 requires Minnesota's commissioner of education to amend the state's "North Star" accountability plan, directly affecting school districts and students who opt out of standardized testing. The bill mandates that districts no longer report scores for students who opt out of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, and excludes these students from all group data used to calculate district or school achievement rates. This change applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The legislation modifies how student assessment data is reported under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act framework.
