HF 3485 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Crisis management policy requirements modified.

HF 3485 modifies Minnesota school crisis management policies to require districts and charter schools to address the unique needs of students with disabilities during crisis drills. The bill adds a specific provision mandating that crisis management policies accommodate students with mobility restrictions, sensory needs, developmental or physical disabilities, mental health needs, and auditory or visual limitations. Existing requirements for five lockdown drills, five fire drills, and one tornado drill remain unchanged. This policy change directly affects all Minnesota public school districts and charter schools developing their crisis response plans.
