ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has given a legal opinion regarding the new state law on use of force in schools.
Ellison said the changes do not limit the types of force school resources officers can use to prevent bodily harm or death, but clarified the force must be “reasonable.”
“The aims of the new amendments to our school-discipline laws are worthy,” Ellison said. “I issued this opinion upon Education Commissioner Willie Jett’s request because it is important to provide clarity about the amendments’ scope.”
