Notice of violent school incidents to teachers and each student's parents required, and retaliation for reporting prohibited.

HF 59 requires Minnesota school principals to provide teachers and parents with timely notice (within 24-48 hours) of violent incidents occurring on school grounds or at school events where injuries happen, including whether videos exist or weapons were involved. It prohibits schools from retaliating against teachers or staff who report, discuss, or participate in investigations of school violence. Notices must not include student names or identifying details and must be delivered via parent-consented email or app, or another agreed method. This law directly affects schools, teachers, parents, and school employees by mandating transparency about safety incidents and protecting staff who report concerns.
