Educational outcomes, safety and accountability for students with disabilities improvement pilot program establishment and appropriation

SF 2633 establishes a state-funded pilot program for Minnesota schools starting in 2025-2026 to improve educational outcomes, safety, and inclusion for students with disabilities. It requires participating schools to develop detailed inclusion plans addressing accessibility, reducing overrepresentation of students of color in restrictive settings, and using neurodiversity-affirming practices, with measurable goals like reducing disciplinary referrals. The program mandates collaboration with students, families, and educators, and requires two annual reports to legislators evaluating effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis. The bill appropriates funds for fiscal year 2026, with the program effective July 1, 2026.
