School system videos appropriation
This bill appropriates $800,000 from the general fund to the Department of Education for a one-time grant to Cultural Connections. The grant requires creating and distributing translated videos explaining Minnesota's school system to immigrant students and parents at 320 public middle and high schools. The videos must be in parents' first language and include distribution instructions to schools. The goal is to help immigrant families understand the school system, support student integration, and reduce achievement gaps through parental involvement. The bill directly affects immigrant students, their families, and participating schools.
