Cursive instruction in elementary school appropriation

This bill requires Minnesota's education commissioner to create a model elementary school curriculum focused on developing legible cursive handwriting by the end of fifth grade, including instructional materials. It appropriates funds from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to provide grants to school districts that adopt cursive handwriting curricula. The bill directly affects Minnesota public elementary schools receiving these grants, enabling them to implement cursive instruction. Key provisions include the curriculum development mandate and the dedicated funding stream for school district adoption.
