The bill modifies the mission of the Minnesota math corps program by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.42, subdivision 9. The changes include a shift from simply providing a problem-solving model of mathematics instruction to offering evidence-based instructional support aimed at evaluating and accelerating student learning in foundational mathematics skills. The updated language emphasizes the importance of meeting long-term proficiency expectations for the workforce and requires the commission to submit a biennial report to the legislature on the program's efficacy.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation section that allocates funds from the general fund to the Department of Education for the Minnesota math corps program. It specifies that any unspent balance from fiscal year 2026 can be carried over to fiscal year 2027. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
