Innovation zone provisions modification
SF 738 modifies Minnesota's education innovation zone and P-TECH school program rules. It adds "work-based schools" and "place-based learning" to the list of approved experiential learning programs under statute 124D.085. The bill requires school districts to publicly adopt and review innovation zone plans detailing program structure, enrollment, and evaluation methods, and to post these plans online. For P-TECH schools, it mandates specific application components like written agreements with partners, descriptions of regional economic support, and facility details. These changes clarify procedures but do not alter funding or grant approval authority for existing programs.
