Minnesota HF397 mandates annual curriculum audits for school districts to ensure alignment with state academic standards.

Minnesota HF397 requires the commissioner of education to annually audit at least 15 percent of school districts to assess their curriculum alignment with state academic standards in math and language arts. The commissioner must identify districts that have not made sufficient progress in improving teaching and learning, including for English learners. The commissioner may require these districts to use up to two percent of their basic general education revenue over three years to implement strategies for improvement.
