The bill appropriates funds for a grant to support the ActivEd Walkabouts program, which aims to enhance education finance in Minnesota. It designates specific sums from the general fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal years outlined in the bill. The Walkabouts program is designed to provide an evidence-based, kinesthetic learning platform that integrates physical activity into the teaching of math, English, language arts, and literacy standards for students from prekindergarten through grade 5. This initiative seeks to improve both academic performance and social-emotional learning.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the regional centers of excellence will offer the ActivEd Walkabouts program at no cost to participating schools. Schools interested in the program must apply through a process determined by the regional centers, which are encouraged to select schools identified for support under the state accountability system and ensure equitable geographic distribution. The bill also establishes that the base funding for the program will be set at $0 for fiscal year 2028 and beyond.
