MN HF2893

Removes the exception allowing recess detention when a student causes or is likely to cause serious physical harm to others, leaving only parental notification and IEP team approval as permitted justifications

Changes parental consent requirement to a notification requirement—parents must be notified in a timely manner rather than providing specific consent before recess detention is used

Eliminates the mandatory data collection and public reporting requirement for recess detentions, which previously required schools to compile demographic information (age, grade, gender, race/ethnicity, special education status) annually

Retains existing provisions requiring parent notification within 24 hours of using recess detention and prohibiting withholding recess for incomplete schoolwork unless academic intervention occurs during that time
