The bill modifies existing education laws in Minnesota, specifically regarding e-learning day requirements and the terms and conditions of employment for school employees. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120A.414, subdivision 2, to allow school boards, including charter schools, to adopt e-learning day plans without the necessity of negotiating with the exclusive representative of teachers. The new plan must include accommodations for students lacking Internet access and provide accessible options for students with disabilities. This section will take effect on July 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 179A.03, subdivision 19, to clarify the definition of "terms and conditions of employment" for school employees. The amendment specifies that this term does not include staffing ratios, which were previously included in the definition. This change will also take effect for collective bargaining agreements starting July 1, 2025, and thereafter.
