Bill > HF3402

This bill establishes an academic acceleration pilot program in six school districts or charter schools in Minnesota from the 2025-2026 to 2027-2028 school years. The program requires participating districts to automatically enroll students who meet certain academic criteria in advanced coursework, such as Advanced Placement or concurrent enrollment classes, unless a parent opts out. The bill provides funding for the program, including covering advanced placement fees for all automatically enrolled students and supporting teacher training and student tutoring. The program aims to increase access to advanced coursework, especially for underrepresented student groups, and the commissioner of education must submit a report to the legislature by 2029 with recommendations on implementing a statewide academic acceleration program.
