Open Meeting Law; classification of school district superintendent and school principal applicant data as private authorized, and closed meetings for school district superintendent and school principal interviews authorized.

HF 3287 amends Minnesota's Open Meeting Law to allow school districts to treat applicant data for superintendent and principal positions as private information during hiring, rather than making it public. It also permits school boards to hold closed meetings specifically for interviewing candidates for these roles, requiring the board to state the purpose of the closure and allowing candidates to request an open meeting. The private classification of applicant data expires once an applicant accepts a job offer. This bill directly affects school districts and applicants for top school leadership positions by changing how sensitive hiring information is handled under transparency rules.
