Anonymous reporting systems required, and report required.

This bill requires Minnesota public schools to establish anonymous reporting systems that allow students and others to report threats or concerning behavior without revealing their identity. By 2028, each public school must implement a system accessible 24/7 through mobile apps and multilingual crisis centers, staffed by trained counselors and connected to school safety teams. The legislation also mandates training for students on recognizing warning signs and reporting risks, along with a statewide list of third-party vendors offering these services. Schools may create their own systems or use a statewide option, while nonpublic schools can choose to participate but are not required to comply. The Department of Education will compile data on school-based teams and submit annual reports to legislative committees.
