Bill > SF1474

This bill requires all public high schools in Minnesota to participate in the direct admissions program starting in the 2029-2030 school year. The direct admissions program, which is referenced in section 136A.84 (though details are not provided in this bill text), appears to be a standardized process for college admission. By mandating participation, the bill aims to ensure that all public high schools in the state help students navigate the college application process through this specific program. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools several years to prepare for and implement the required participation. This approach suggests the state wants to create a more uniform and accessible pathway for high school students to apply to colleges by establishing a consistent direct admissions approach across all public high schools.
