Fully funded summer school program created, voluntary integration and inclusion program established, voluntary metro-wide interdistrict integration program established, diverse magnet school program established, minimum pay for teachers required, and money appropriated.

HF 2899 creates a fully funded summer school program in Minnesota for students meeting specific academic or socioeconomic criteria (such as performing below grade level, being eligible for free/reduced-price meals, or being an English learner). It also establishes voluntary programs to promote school integration and inclusion, including metro-wide interdistrict options and diverse magnet schools. The bill mandates minimum teacher pay standards and requires school districts to implement evidence-based family information systems. Funding for these programs comes through existing education revenue formulas, with specific provisions for districts participating in the new initiatives. The changes apply to all Minnesota public school districts and participating charter schools, effective for fiscal year 2027.
