A school district may require a student against whom a restraining order or order for protection has been issued to receive instruction at a separate site for the duration of the restraining order or order for protection.

For students with disabilities as defined in section 125A.02, the district must provide prior written notice to the parent or guardian and comply with dispute resolution processes and procedural safeguards under section 125A.091.

An "alternate setting" means a school site in a separate building, which may include an area learning center, state-approved alternative program, or a site under the administrative control of a service cooperative or intermediate school district.

The alternate setting must be selected to allow the student to progress toward meeting state academic standards and graduation requirements.

A placement in an alternate setting does not constitute a dismissal or other form of discipline.
