Anonymous reporting systems requirement

SF 4042 requires all Minnesota public K-12 schools to implement 24/7 anonymous reporting systems by July 2028. These systems must include mobile apps, multilingual crisis centers staffed by trained professionals, and coordinated responses to threats involving students or staff. Schools must also provide evidence-based violence prevention training for students and public awareness about the system. Nonpublic schools are exempt, and the Department of Education must maintain a list of compliant third-party systems by 2027. The bill aims to improve school safety through accessible reporting while ensuring data privacy compliance.
