Bill > SF4632

This bill modifies student discipline provisions in Minnesota. It prohibits disciplinary dismissals for preschool through 3rd grade students, except in cases of ongoing serious safety threats. The bill requires schools to provide alternative educational services before dismissal proceedings and emphasizes preventing dismissals through early detection and addressing inappropriate behavior. It also outlines the school's continuing responsibility for the education of a dismissed student, including providing mental health services and ensuring progress towards graduation. The bill repeals sections related to nonexclusionary discipline practices and restrictions on the use of recess detention.
