School year calendar start date construction project exception modified.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Education Policy
Summary
The bill changes Minnesota law so that a school district may begin the elementary or secondary school year before Labor Day only if a construction or remodeling project costs $500,000 or more for a single on‑site facility and is not finished while students are present. It also clarifies that new construction at a separate site does not qualify, and it keeps existing allowances for teacher workshops and cooperative agreements. The change aims to tighten the exception and ensure student safety during construction.
