Office of Achievement and Innovation established in the Department of Education; and equity, diversity, and inclusion appropriation modified.
HF 64 establishes the Office of Achievement and Innovation within Minnesota's Department of Education to help school districts and charter schools research and adopt innovative teaching practices focused on literacy, math, science, and career readiness. The office will maintain a central resource for educational strategies and vet nonprofit organizations that support student achievement, requiring nonprofits to submit financial records, program history, and legal compliance documentation. It modifies the state budget to allocate $2 million annually for the new office's staffing, separate from other equity, diversity, and inclusion funding. The office provides advisory support only - its guidance is not binding on schools.
