Bill > HF2194

This bill codifies the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) and Collaborative Minnesota Partnership to Advance Student Success (COMPASS) frameworks into state statutes, transforming existing session law into a more permanent legislative structure. The bill defines MTSS as a comprehensive school improvement framework designed to ensure positive academic, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes for every student, emphasizing an equitable, anti-bias approach to education. The framework requires districts to establish effective leadership, engage with families and communities, provide multilayered instructional support, use reliable assessment tools, and make data-driven decisions. COMPASS will serve as a statewide support system helping school districts and charter schools implement MTSS through training, guidance, and resources. The bill outlines specific support mechanisms, including universal student screening, dyslexia intervention, early graduation tracking, and parent notification processes. Additionally, the legislation provides funding mechanisms to support MTSS implementation, including grants for hiring local coordinators, developing regional mathematics training networks, and supporting research and evaluation through the University of Minnesota. The goal is to create a more responsive, supportive educational environment that can identify and address student needs proactively and comprehensively.
