The proposed bill allows school districts in Minnesota to place students in an alternate educational setting if a restraining order or order for protection has been issued against them. This alternate setting is defined as a separate school site, which may include area learning centers or other state-approved programs, and must be chosen to ensure the student can continue to meet state academic standards and graduation requirements.

Additionally, if the student is classified as a "child with a disability," the school district is required to provide prior written notice to the parent or guardian, and the existing dispute resolution processes and procedural safeguards will apply. Importantly, the bill clarifies that such a placement in an alternate setting does not equate to a dismissal or disciplinary action against the student.
