Committee forwards internet acceptable-use update noting new 2026 notification statute
Summary
The policy committee approved forwarding policy 524 (internet acceptable use and safety) after MSBA incorporated a 2026 Minnesota statute adding notification requirements; the policy is mandatory under state guidance.
The committee voted to forward revisions to policy 524 (internet acceptable use and safety), which MSBA updated to reflect a statute enacted by the 2026 Minnesota Legislature that adds notification responsibilities. The Chair said this is a mandatory policy and pointed the committee to the new statute language located on pages 4–5 of the model revision.
Committee members offered no further edits and approved forwarding the policy to the school board by voice vote.
Why it matters: The update alters required district notification procedures tied to internet use and safety; districts must align local practice with new statutory duties.
What happens next: The committee forwarded the policy to the school board for consideration and adoption; staff will implement the notification procedures once adopted.
