School district or charter school allowed to opt out of statewide assessments.

Minnesota House Bill 3770 (HF3770) allows school districts and charter schools to opt out of all statewide assessments, including standardized tests, alternate assessments, and English language proficiency assessments, for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. This option is available if federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities have negatively impacted students, staff, and the school community. If a district or charter school chooses to opt out, it must inform the Minnesota Department of Education as soon as possible.
