Annual curriculum audit required.

HF 397 requires Minnesota's education commissioner to annually conduct curriculum audits for at least 15% of public school districts. These audits specifically check whether math and language arts curricula align with state academic standards. The audits target districts already identified as needing improvement or under performance plans, as listed in annual reports. This policy directly affects school districts across Minnesota, adding a new accountability measure for curriculum content. The requirement applies to all public K-12 districts, with audits selected from districts meeting specific performance criteria.
