Grant to a nonprofit provision to develop a global competency skills pilot program

This bill appropriates $3 million from the general fund to a nonprofit organization to develop a statewide pilot program training Minnesota students in global competency skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making. The program must operate across multiple school sites, with the nonprofit required to secure at least 25% local funding match and use grant money for teacher training, curriculum, and school support. The nonprofit must submit annual reports starting June 2026 through 2029 to legislative education committees, detailing participant demographics and program effectiveness. The funds are a one-time appropriation available until June 30, 2028.
