SF1118

The bill proposed in Minnesota, S.F. No. 1118, focuses on protecting the privacy of parents by modifying the rules around what can be considered publicly available directory information in schools. It specifies that personal contact information of parents, such as home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses, cannot be classified as directory information and thus cannot be publicly disclosed. This change aims to ensure the privacy of such data unless specifically required for voter outreach during school district referendums or for certain federal and state reporting purposes. This legislation would amend existing statutes to strengthen data privacy protections for parents in the educational context.
