Recess detention modification
This bill modifies Minnesota's rules around "recess detention" (excluding students from scheduled recess as punishment). It prohibits schools from withholding recess except in limited cases: when a student causes serious harm, with parental consent, or for students with special education plans where an IEP team approves it. Schools must notify parents within 24 hours of using recess detention, collect annual data on its use (including student demographics), and cannot withhold recess for incomplete schoolwork unless academic support occurs during that time. The bill directly affects all Minnesota public school districts and charter schools.
