The bill mandates that all public high schools in Minnesota must participate in the direct admissions program starting in the 2029-2030 school year. This requirement is codified under a new section, [120B.1251] PARTICIPATION IN DIRECT ADMISSIONS PROGRAM, which outlines the obligation for district and charter school high schools to engage in this program as specified in section 136A.84. Additionally, the bill includes an effective date provision, stating that this requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows schools to prepare for the implementation of the direct admissions program before it becomes mandatory.
