Bill > SF1323

This bill modifies the mission of the Minnesota Math Corps program, an AmeriCorps initiative focused on providing mathematics instructional support in elementary and middle schools. The bill updates the program's purpose to emphasize evidence-based instructional support that helps students develop foundational mathematics skills, with the goal of meeting state academic standards and preparing students for future workforce expectations. Specifically, the bill changes language from "give" to "provide" ServeMinnesota AmeriCorps members with a data-based problem-solving model of math instruction. The bill also requires the commission to submit biennial reports evaluating program data to determine the program's effectiveness. Additionally, the bill includes a financial appropriation of $2 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million for fiscal year 2027 to support the Math Corps program, with any unspent 2026 funds carried over to 2027. The changes will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing time for implementation and preparation.
