Bill > HF802

This bill modifies Minnesota's mathematics academic standards and high school credit requirements for graduation. Specifically, the bill adjusts the language around mathematics standards by changing the description from "encompassing algebra II, integrated mathematics III" to "including elements of algebra, geometry, and statistics". The bill also provides more flexibility to local school districts in determining how mathematics academic standards are satisfied. Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for credit equivalencies, such as allowing personal finance courses taught by teachers with specific licenses to potentially fulfill mathematics credit requirements. The bill also clarifies that students beginning 9th grade in the 2024-2025 school year must complete a personal finance course for credit in grades 10-12, with the course needing to be taught by a teacher with appropriate licensing in areas like agricultural education, business, family and consumer science, social studies, or math. These changes aim to provide more diverse pathways for students to meet mathematics and graduation requirements while maintaining academic rigor.
