2.10removal, fire and life safety code repairs, labor and industry regulated facility and
2.11equipment violations, and health, safety, and environmental management, including
2.12indoor air quality management. The application must include a health and safety program
2.13budget adopted and confirmed by the school district board as being consistent with the
2.14district's health and safety policy under subdivision 2. The program budget must include
2.15the estimated cost, per building, of the program per Uniform Financial Accounting and

2.23estimated cost of $500,000 or more per site that meet all other requirements for health and
2.24safety funding, are eligible for alternative facilities bonding and levy revenue according
2.25to section 123B.59. A school board shall not separate portions of a single project into
2.26components to qualify for health and safety revenue, and shall not combine unrelated
2.27projects into a single project to qualify for alternative facilities bonding and levy revenue.
2.28(c) The commissioner of education shall not make eligibility for health and safety
2.29revenue contingent on a district's compliance status, level of program development, or

2.32    Subd. 2. Contents of program Health and safety policy. To qualify for health
2.33and safety revenue, a district school board must adopt a health and safety program policy.
2.34The program policy must include plans, where applicable, for hazardous substance

3.11actions, for purposes of this section. The plan must also contain provisions to make
3.12modifications to existing facilities and equipment necessary to limit personal exposure

7.27    "Sec. .... Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 121A.17, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
7.28    Subd. 3. Screening program. (a) A screening program must include at least the
7.29following components: developmental assessments, hearing and vision screening or
7.30referral, immunization review and referral, the child's height and weight, identification
7.31of risk factors that may influence learning, an interview with the parent about the child,
7.32and referral for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment when potential needs are identified.
7.33The district and the person performing or supervising the screening must provide a
7.34parent or guardian with clear written notice that the parent or guardian may decline to
7.35answer questions or provide information about family circumstances that might affect
8.1development and identification of risk factors that may influence learning. The notice
8.2must clearly state that declining to answer questions or provide information does not
8.3prevent the child from being enrolled in kindergarten or first grade if all other screening
8.4components are met. If a parent or guardian is not able to read and comprehend the written
8.5notice, the district and the person performing or supervising the screening must convey
8.6the information in another manner. The notice must also inform the parent or guardian
8.7that a child need not submit to the district screening program if the child's health records
8.8indicate to the school that the child has received comparable developmental screening
8.9performed within the preceding 365 days by a public or private health care organization or
8.10individual health care provider. The notice must be given to a parent or guardian at the
8.11time the district initially provides information to the parent or guardian about screening
8.12and must be given again at the screening location.
8.13(b) All screening components shall be consistent with the standards of the state
8.14commissioner of health for early developmental screening programs. A developmental
8.15screening program must not provide laboratory tests or a physical examination to any
8.16child. The district must request from the public or private health care organization or the
8.17individual health care provider the results of any laboratory test or physical examination
8.18within the 12 months preceding a child's scheduled screening.
8.19(c) If a child is without health coverage, the school district must refer the child to an
8.20appropriate health care provider.
8.21(d) A board may offer additional components such as nutritional, physical and
8.22dental assessments, review of family circumstances that might affect development, blood
8.23pressure, laboratory tests, and health history.
8.24(e) If a statement signed by the child's parent or guardian is submitted to the
8.25administrator or other person having general control and supervision of the school that
8.26the child has not been screened because of conscientiously held beliefs of the parent
8.27or guardian, the screening is not required.
8.28(f) Early childhood developmental screening helps a school district identify children
8.29who may benefit from district and community resources available to help in their
8.30development. Early childhood developmental screening includes a vision screening that
8.31helps detect potential eye problems but is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam
8.32by an ophthalmologist or optometrist."
