AI Summary
This bill requires all public high schools in Minnesota to participate in the direct admissions program starting in the 2029-2030 school year, with an important caveat that school boards can adopt a written resolution to exempt one or more high schools from participation. The direct admissions program (referenced in section 136A.84, though details are not provided in this bill text) appears to be a process that simplifies college application procedures for high school students. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools several years to prepare for implementation. By mandating participation, the bill seems intended to make college application processes more standardized and accessible across Minnesota's public high schools, though individual school boards retain some flexibility through the option to seek an exemption via official resolution.
