The bill S.F. No. 903 aims to ensure that nonpublic school students in Minnesota have access to the same health, guidance, and counseling services as public school students. The bill requires each school district or service area to provide these services annually to nonpublic school students upon request. The services will be equal to those provided to public school students within the same district. Additionally, the bill mandates that each district must provide the necessary transportation for nonpublic school students to access these services at a public school or neutral site if the services are not offered directly at the nonpublic school. The expenses for these services must not exceed the budget allocated for this purpose.
