Bill > HF1171

This bill modifies the Minnesota math corps program by updating its mission and providing funding. The program, which involves ServeMinnesota AmeriCorps members, will now focus on providing evidence-based instructional support to elementary and middle school students to help them improve their mathematics skills. The bill clarifies that "evidence-based" means using reliable and valid instructional methods that have demonstrated success in increasing student competency in mathematics. The legislation requires the commission to submit biennial reports evaluating the program's effectiveness and tracks its impact on students' ability to meet academic standards and prepare for workforce numeracy expectations. Additionally, the bill appropriates $2 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million for fiscal year 2027 to support the math corps program, with any unspent funds from 2026 being carried over to 2027. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the program time to implement the new guidelines and approach to mathematics instruction.
