Safe and supportive schools programming requirements modifications

SF 2435 modifies Minnesota's school safety requirements by making it mandatory for public school districts and schools to provide specific programs. The bill requires schools to teach students to identify and prevent prohibited conduct (like bullying), develop conflict resolution skills, and train student bystanders to report incidents. It also updates the state model policy to clarify how schools must address students with disabilities, prevent inappropriate special education referrals, and ensure equal access for all student groups. Schools must implement these changes by July 1, 2025, with the state providing resources and a complaint process for noncompliance.
