The bill establishes an Office of Achievement and Innovation within the Minnesota Department of Education, aimed at assisting school districts and charter schools in researching and implementing innovative practices to enhance academic achievement in various subjects, including literacy, mathematics, and science. The office will maintain a clearinghouse for innovative ideas and resources, provide advisory support to districts, and establish a central contact point for approved nonprofit organizations that have demonstrated effectiveness in supporting student achievement. Nonprofits seeking approval must meet specific criteria, including submitting financial documentation and ensuring that their principals have no felony financial crime convictions in the past ten years.

Additionally, the bill modifies the equity, diversity, and inclusion appropriation by replacing the existing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Center with the newly established Office of Achievement and Innovation, which will receive $2,000,000 each year for staffing. The bill also amends previous appropriations related to the Department of Education, ensuring that funds are allocated for various educational initiatives and services. The effective date for the provisions of this bill is the day following final enactment.
