Microcredentials for teachers and administrators of English learner programs established, English learner revenue formula modified to provide additional revenue for a student with limited or interrupted formal education, English learner staff ratio reporting created, and money appropriated.

HF 2738 establishes voluntary microcredentials for teachers and administrators working with English learners, requiring specific professional development in culturally responsive teaching. It modifies Minnesota's English learner funding formula to provide additional revenue for students with limited or interrupted formal education (adding a 0.5 multiplier to the combined basic and concentration allowances). The bill also creates a new requirement for school districts to report English learner staff ratios and appropriates funds to support these changes. These provisions directly affect English learner students, school districts, and licensed teachers through updated funding, reporting, and professional development requirements.
