It is the policy of the state of Minnesota that public school education shall be
free and no pupil shall be denied an education because of economic inability to furnish
educational books and supplies necessary to complete educational requirements necessary
for graduation. Any practice leading to suspension, coercion, exclusion, withholding of
grades or diplomas, or discriminatory action based upon nonpayment of fees denies pupils
their right to equal protection and entitled privileges. It is recognized that school boards
