The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 127A.20, subdivision 2, to clarify the goals required for applicants seeking education grants from the commissioner of education. Specifically, it replaces the phrase "world's best workforce" with "comprehensive achievement and civic readiness" to ensure that the goals of the education programs and grant funds align with the accountability systems mandated by the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. This amendment aims to enhance the clarity and relevance of grant applications in relation to current educational standards and accountability measures.
