SF 371 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Reporting provision of student fights

This bill requires Minnesota school districts to report witnessed student fights and physical assaults on staff to the state education commissioner. School employees who witness student fights must notify administrators and file a police report, and districts must submit these reports electronically within 30 days. Reports must include student demographics (age, grade, race, special education status) and details about disciplinary actions taken. The data will be aggregated annually and included in statewide school performance reports. This affects school districts, staff, and students involved in reported incidents.
