Reenrollment after student withdrawal from school encouraged, and notification and resources required for the family of an unenrolled child.

HF 1053 requires Minnesota school districts to notify families when a student is dropped from the school roll due to 15 or more consecutive absences during the regular school year. Schools must then contact families to encourage reenrollment and provide the student's contact information to the state Department of Education. The Department of Education must subsequently notify families about community resources, the student's right to return to their school, and other accessible educational options. This bill, effective July 1, 2025, directly affects school districts, families of unenrolled students, and the Department of Education.
