Bill > SF1506

This bill establishes a $300,000 grant for Independent School District No. 294 in Houston to develop a career pathways program in emergency medicine through the Minnesota Virtual Academy. The program will offer up to two semesters of courses leading to emergency medical responder or emergency medical technician (EMT) certification. The grant, available until June 30, 2028, can be used to provide academic, counseling, and support services to encourage student participation. The bill specifically emphasizes outreach to and participation of students of color, Indigenous students, students from low-income families, and underserved students across Minnesota. Additionally, the school district is required to submit annual reports from January 2027 to January 2029, detailing students' experiences, program spending, participant demographics, student certification achievements, and recommendations for improving career pathways programs statewide. The reports must comply with Minnesota's reporting guidelines and include information such as the number of participants who take and pass national certification exams.
