The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.125, to enhance personal learning plans for students in grades 9 and above by requiring the inclusion of targeted interventions for those who receive failing grades in core subjects such as language arts, math, science, or social studies. Specifically, if a student fails a course, their personal learning plan must incorporate supports aimed at helping them progress toward graduation. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of recognizing each student's unique talents and abilities when developing these plans, ensuring that they reflect individual growth and learning.
Furthermore, the bill introduces new subdivisions that outline the requirements for school districts in assisting students with their personal learning plans. It mandates that districts provide appropriate curricula and resources for English learners and ensures that students with disabilities can meet the plan's requirements through their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
