Release of a student's home address authorization to school-age child care programs

Related bill: HF1222

AI Generated Summary

The bill (S.F. No. 1613) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 13.32, subdivision 5, concerning student data privacy. The amendment allows schools to release a student’s home address to school-age child care programs for the purpose of mailing program information to the student's home. However, school-age child care programs receiving this information are prohibited from further sharing or using it for any other purposes.

The bill maintains existing protections on student personal contact information, restricting educational institutions from designating home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses as public "directory information." Exceptions continue to apply for required data-sharing with the Minnesota Department of Education and the Department of Employment and Economic Development for federal reporting and special education transition services.
