The bill introduces new provisions under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 121A, aimed at enhancing school safety and transparency regarding violent incidents. It mandates that school principals or designated officials must provide timely notifications to teachers and parents about violent activities occurring on school grounds or during school-sponsored events, particularly when injuries are involved. The notification must be issued within 24 to 48 hours and should not disclose the identities of the students involved. Additionally, schools are required to inform parents and teachers when a dangerous weapon is brandished or confiscated, with the notice delivered through previously consented communication methods.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits charter schools and school districts from retaliating against teachers or employees who report or discuss incidents of school violence or dangerous conduct. It ensures that employees are protected from retaliation for participating in investigations related to school safety. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not compromise students' data privacy rights under existing federal and state laws. The provisions outlined in this bill are set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.
