School year beginning before Labor Day for certain school years authorization

SF 1336 allows Minnesota school districts to begin the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years before Labor Day, which is typically the first Monday in September. This temporary exception applies only to those two specific school years and requires districts choosing this option to report their start date to the state education commissioner. The commissioner must then submit a report by January 5, 2027, listing all districts that started before Labor Day for those years. The bill does not change the standard start date permanently but provides a limited, two-year exception with reporting requirements.
