This bill mandates that all public high schools in Minnesota participate in the direct admissions program starting in the 2029-2030 school year. Schools may be exempt from this requirement if the school board adopts a written resolution to exempt one or more high schools. The bill introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 120B, specifically section 120B.1251, which outlines these requirements.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the effective date for this participation requirement will be July 1, 2025. This timeline allows schools to prepare for the implementation of the direct admissions program before it becomes mandatory.
