Amends the Read Act to establish ongoing curriculum review for Minnesota schools.

The bill amends the Read Act to require ongoing curriculum review for Minnesota schools. It mandates that the Department of Education and CAREI review submitted curriculum by March 3, 2025, and thereafter. The review process includes culturally responsive criteria and ensures that alternative curriculum and intervention programs are reviewed on the same cycle as traditional programs. Districts or curriculum publishers can request the addition of specific curricula to the list, provided they meet the Read Act requirements, are evidence-based, and include structured literacy components.
