Education bill would overhaul Minnesota school shooting drill policies

New rules in a sweeping education bill would bar districts from conducting active shooter simulations in public schools

Active shooter simulations would effectively be barred in Minnesota schools under a provision in a sweeping education bill moving through the Legislature.

Instead, school districts would be required to provide students with at least one hour of violence prevention training per year and adopt a uniform standard for active shooter drills.

The distinction, Sen. Erin Maye Quade, DFL-Apple Valley, said during the education conference committee meeting Tuesday, is that simulations are "basically full-scale drills that can mimic what an active shooter situation can look like."
