MN SF3997

Defines "pupil withdrawal agreement" as a verbal or written agreement between a school or district administrator and a student's parent to withdraw the student from the district to avoid expulsion or exclusion proceedings.

Requires school boards to report each pupil withdrawal agreement to the commissioner of education within 30 days through the department's electronic reporting system, alongside exclusions, expulsions, and physical assaults.

Mandates that reports include student demographics (age, grade, gender, race, special education status), reason for withdrawal, effective date, duration, and any alternative educational services or interventions provided.

Requires school boards to include state student identification numbers on all dismissal and disciplinary reports, including pupil withdrawal agreement reports submitted to the department.

Directs the commissioner to annually compile and report summary data on dismissals, pupil withdrawal agreements, and physical assaults by student demographics, and to include aggregated data in annual school performance reports.
