Bill > SF1843

This bill appropriates $1,500,000 in state funding for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs to support academic assistance programs. The grant is specifically designed to improve academic outcomes for youth through various educational support initiatives. These programs include providing homework help and tutoring, continuing and enhancing the Exact Path program (a personalized learning platform for math, reading, and language arts), offering literacy and STEM activities, implementing mentorship initiatives, and developing strategies to improve school attendance. The bill emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment for youth who need the most academic support. To receive the grant, the Boys and Girls Clubs must secure a 25 percent match from non-state funding sources. The legislation encourages the organization to strengthen partnerships with schools to maximize the impact of these academic assistance programs. After fiscal year 2027, the base appropriation for this grant will be $0, indicating it is a temporary funding allocation.
