The bill authorizes a grant to the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota to conduct a survey of Minnesota principals. It includes an appropriation from the general fund to the Department of Education for this purpose, specifying that the funds will be used for the development, administration, and analysis of the 2026 Minnesota principals survey. The bill outlines that up to five percent of the appropriation may be allocated for grant management and that the funds will remain available until June 30, 2027.

Additionally, the Center is required to post the survey results on its website and submit a report in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 3.195, to the chairs and ranking minority leaders of the legislative committees overseeing education by January 15, 2027. This ensures transparency and accountability regarding the survey's findings and the use of the appropriated funds.
