HF 63 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

School board membership requirements modified, and school board membership expanded to include student members.

HF 63 modifies Minnesota school board membership by requiring public school districts to select two student members starting in the 2025-2026 school year. Student members must be enrolled in grades 9-12, reside in the district, and be chosen through a process allowing all eligible students to vote. These student members gain voting rights on all board matters, serve two-year terms, and may serve no more than two terms. The bill directly affects all Minnesota public school districts and their student populations, aiming to increase student voice in school governance.
