High school graduation requirements clarified.

HF 1490 clarifies Minnesota's high school graduation requirements for students entering grade 8 in the 2012-2013 school year and later. It requires schools to monitor students' progress in math, reading, and writing through continuous assessment, using data to identify academic needs and provide targeted support. The bill also mandates age-appropriate career exploration and planning activities to help students develop transition plans for college or careers without needing remediation. These changes apply directly to Minnesota public high school students and school districts implementing the requirements, effective July 1, 2025.
