HF 2288 authorizes $210,000 in state funds to the University of Minnesota Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement to conduct a 2026 survey of Minnesota principals. The bill requires the Center to post survey results online, file a report with the legislature by January 15, 2027, and provide it to education committee chairs. This funding directly supports gathering data on Minnesota principals' experiences and challenges. The survey is intended to inform future education policy decisions based on principal input.
