This bill mandates that school districts in Minnesota adopt specific policies and processes to assist parents who require language assistance and to provide reasonable accommodations for parents of children with disabilities. Under the new provisions, districts must ensure that parents who need language support can meaningfully participate in their child's education program development. This includes establishing a process for requesting translation and interpretation services, providing documents in multiple languages, and ensuring that parents understand the contents of their child's individualized education program (IEP). Additionally, districts are required to notify parents of these policies and provide information in a language they understand.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the necessity for districts to create a policy for accommodating parents with disabilities, ensuring they can participate in the IEP process without undue hardship on the district. It defines "reasonable accommodation" and emphasizes that parents should not be required to disclose private health information. The bill also stipulates that all teachers and staff involved with special education must review the accommodations policy annually, and parents must be informed of the accommodation process before special education evaluations. The effective date for these provisions is set for July 1, 2024.
