Bill > SF879

This bill amends Minnesota charter school law to explicitly require charter school authorizers to comply with government data practices under Chapter 13, which governs the collection, creation, storage, maintenance, and dissemination of government data in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill adds language to section 124E.05 mandating that authorizers (organizations responsible for overseeing and monitoring charter schools) must follow state data privacy regulations. These regulations ensure that any information collected, maintained, or shared by charter school authorizers is done so transparently and in accordance with legal standards for protecting sensitive information. The bill applies this requirement to all charter school authorizers, whether they are school districts or other approved organizations, and reinforces the existing responsibilities of authorizers to maintain accountability, ensure school quality, and protect public trust in the charter school system. By explicitly adding this compliance requirement, the bill aims to strengthen data privacy protections and standardize how charter school authorizers handle and manage government data.
