Disciplinary dismissals for students in early learning programs modified.

HF 3372 modifies disciplinary rules for students in early learning programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and kindergarten through grade 3) in Minnesota. The bill prohibits most school dismissals for these students, requiring schools to first use nonexclusionary discipline strategies like collaborating with families, creating support plans, or referring to community services. Only after exhausting these steps may schools consider suspensions, exclusions, or expulsions - strictly for ongoing serious safety threats. The law takes effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
