The bill S.F. No. 1336 proposes that for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years, school districts in Minnesota may choose to start the school year before Labor Day. This decision would be made by a vote of the school board. Normally, state laws prevent schools from starting before Labor Day. Additionally, districts that decide to start early must report their start dates to the state's education commissioner. By January 5, 2027, the commissioner is required to provide a report to legislative education committees, detailing which districts chose to begin their school year after Labor Day.
