This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.32, subdivision 5, to authorize the release of a student's home address to school-age child care programs. The amendment allows schools to provide this information specifically for the purpose of mailing program information to the student's home address. However, it also includes a provision that prohibits the school-age child care program from further disseminating the student's information or using it for any other purpose.
The bill maintains existing protections regarding the designation of directory information, which includes personal contact information such as home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. Notably, the amendment creates an exception to these protections, allowing for the limited release of home addresses to facilitate communication between schools and child care programs, thereby enhancing access to relevant program information for families.
