The bill establishes a career pathways program in emergency medicine, specifically appropriating $300,000 from the workforce development fund for Independent School District No. 294, Houston, to support the Minnesota Virtual Academy's initiative. This funding is designated for the fiscal year 2026 and is intended to cover up to two semesters of courses that will prepare students for certification as emergency medical responders or emergency medical technicians. The appropriation is available until June 30, 2028, and the grant money can be utilized to enhance student participation through additional academic and counseling support services provided by the students' enrolling school districts.

Furthermore, the program aims to promote inclusivity by encouraging participation from students of color, Indigenous students, low-income families, and other underserved populations across Minnesota. Starting January 15, 2027, and annually through January 15, 2029, Independent School District No. 294 is required to submit a detailed report to relevant legislative committees. This report will cover various aspects of the program, including student experiences, financial documentation, participant demographics, and recommendations for improving career pathways programs statewide.
