The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.303, subdivision 1, to clarify graduation requirements for students. It introduces a systematic approach to student education and career planning, emphasizing the importance of achievement and readiness in mathematics, reading, and writing. The bill outlines the need for analyzing students' progress and performance to identify academic strengths and areas needing improvement, as well as the necessity for age-appropriate career exploration and planning activities.

Additionally, the bill allows programs to satisfy state graduation requirements through individual scores on state-identified alternative assessments. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments aim to enhance educational support and ensure that students are better prepared for postsecondary education or employment without the need for remediation.
