The bill modifies existing education laws in Minnesota, specifically focusing on e-learning day requirements and the terms and conditions of employment for school employees. It allows school boards, including charter schools, to adopt e-learning day plans that must include accommodations for students lacking Internet access and digital devices, as well as accessible options for students with disabilities. The requirement for school boards to negotiate with teachers' representatives before adopting such plans has been removed. This section will take effect on July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill revises the definition of "terms and conditions of employment" for school employees by removing references to adult-to-student ratios in classrooms, student testing, and student-to-personnel ratios. Instead, it clarifies that these terms do not include staffing ratios. This change will apply to collective bargaining agreements effective from July 1, 2025, and thereafter.
