Bill > HF1515

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing statute on personal learning plans for students, primarily focusing on enhancing academic support and transition planning. The bill requires school districts to help students in grade 9 and later develop comprehensive plans that explore their educational, career, and personal interests, with a goal of preparing them for postsecondary education or employment. Specifically, the bill adds a new requirement that if a student receives one or more failing grades in core subjects like language arts, math, science, or social studies, their personal learning plan must include targeted interventions and supports to help them progress toward graduation. The bill emphasizes creating personalized plans that recognize each student's unique talents, skills, and abilities, and ensures that these plans are reviewed and revised annually. The legislation maintains previous protections against forcing students into specific career paths and continues to address the needs of English learners and students with disabilities. The bill also clarifies that for students with individualized education programs (IEPs), those plans can satisfy the transition planning requirements. The new provisions will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools time to prepare for implementation.
