AI Summary

  • Modifies "world's best workforce" definition to focus on third-grade literacy goals, with 90 percent of third graders achieving grade-level literacy and no student group below 85 percent by 2025.

  • Adds six performance measures for school districts: academic achievement gaps, rigorous course taking, Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments results, high school graduation rates, career and college readiness indicators, school readiness measurement, and student attendance or other success indicators.

  • Changes school site teams from mandatory to discretionary, allowing school boards to establish site teams rather than requiring them.

  • Changes language from "shall" to "must" throughout and restructures district advisory committee requirements into subsections with clearer duties around academic standards, assessments, teacher diversity, and English learner support.

  • Repeals subdivision 7 requiring periodic surveys of affected constituencies about school satisfaction, effective for the 2018-2019 school year and later.
