Minnesota math corps program mission modified, and money appropriated.
HF 1171 modifies the mission of Minnesota's Math Corps program to focus on providing elementary and middle school students and teachers with data-driven, evidence-based instructional support for foundational math skills. It requires the program to evaluate and accelerate student learning to meet state math standards and workforce readiness goals. The bill appropriates $2 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million for 2027 to fund this program, with unused 2026 funds carrying over to 2027. The Department of Education must submit biennial reports to legislative education committees assessing the program's effectiveness. This directly affects K-8 students and teachers in Minnesota public schools receiving Math Corps support.
