BACKGROUND
A companion bill to House File 168, Senate File 99 would solve Minnesota's data privacy problem by specifically stating that "data collected by a public school on a child that must be reported pursuant to Section 120A.24 is private data." "Private data" should be contrasted with "directory information" or "public data," which under Minnesota's Sunshine Law must be released upon request.
