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 reviewing and revising these plans annually in collaboration with the student and their guardians to ensure alignment with academic standards and graduation requirements.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new subdivisions that outline the responsibilities of school districts in developing personal learning plans. Districts are required to recognize the unique talents and abilities of each student and ensure that the plans reflect these individual characteristics. The bill also maintains provisions for students with disabilities, stating that if a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) meets the necessary components, it will satisfy the transition plan requirements. The changes outlined in this bill will take effect on July 1, 2025.
