The bill authorizes a grant to the University of Minnesota Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement to conduct a survey of Minnesota principals, specifically the 2026 Minnesota principals survey. It includes an appropriation from the general fund to the Department of Education for this purpose, with the funds available until June 30, 2027. The Center is required to develop, administer, and analyze the survey, and it may allocate up to five percent of the grant for management purposes.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the results of the survey be posted on the Center's website and that a report be filed in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 3.195. This report must be submitted to the chairs and ranking minority leaders of the legislative committees overseeing education by January 15, 2027.
