The bill S.F. No. 3567 introduces a comprehensive set of modifications to Minnesota's education provisions for prekindergarten through grade 12, focusing on enhancing educational standards, promoting inclusivity, and improving student support systems. Key provisions include the requirement for school districts and charter schools to adopt policies on student cell phone use by March 15, 2025, and the establishment of criteria for evaluating four-day school week plans. The bill also mandates that educational agencies share personal student contact information to better coordinate services for students with disabilities. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of aligning digital instruction with Minnesota's academic standards and introduces new requirements for arts education, child sexual abuse prevention instruction, and personal finance courses.

Significant amendments include the prohibition of American Indian mascots in schools starting September 1, 2026, and the introduction of a Military Interstate Children's Compact State Council to support military-connected students. The bill also enhances literacy instruction by requiring evidence-based reading programs and screening for students in grades K-3. Furthermore, it establishes new governance and accountability measures for charter schools, including training requirements for board members and transparency in operations. The effective dates for many provisions are set for July 1, 2024, or the day following final enactment, indicating a prompt implementation of these educational reforms aimed at improving equity and student outcomes across Minnesota schools.
