Minnesota HF514 modifies dismissal limitations for kindergarten through grade 3 students.

Minnesota HF514 amends the state's education statutes to prohibit disciplinary dismissals for students in kindergarten through grade 3. The bill ensures that these students are not subject to dismissals under the specified chapter. It also clarifies that this provision does not apply to dismissals for less than one school day, except as provided under special education services. Expulsions and exclusions are permitted only after other resources have been exhausted and when there is an ongoing serious safety threat to the child or others.
