Bill > HF1306

This bill encompasses a comprehensive set of changes to Minnesota's kindergarten through grade 12 education system, covering multiple areas including general education, charter schools, education innovation, special education, health and nutrition, and state agency oversight. The bill modifies existing statutes to address various aspects of education policy, such as expanding opportunities for students to participate in postsecondary and career-technical education, clarifying definitions and procedures for online and blended learning, establishing new guidelines for short-call emergency substitute teachers, and enhancing the powers of the Department of Education's Office of the Inspector General to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse in educational programs. Key provisions include allowing 10th through 12th-grade students more flexibility in taking college-level courses, updating regulations for epinephrine delivery systems in schools, implementing a more robust state complaint process for special education, and providing the Inspector General with broader investigative authority to ensure the proper use of public educational funds. The bill also makes technical changes to various educational statutes, such as renumbering certain sections and adjusting reporting requirements, with the overall aim of improving educational opportunities, administrative efficiency, and accountability in Minnesota's education system.
