The bill mandates that all public high schools in Minnesota, including district and charter schools, 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 aligns with existing provisions in section 136A.84 regarding direct admissions. Additionally, the bill specifies that this new requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows schools to prepare for the implementation of the direct admissions program, ensuring that they are ready to comply with the new law by the designated school year.
