Education attendance reporting requirements modified.

AI Generated Summary

This bill modifies attendance reporting requirements in Minnesota's education system by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.36, subdivision 1.

Key changes and additions include: - Expanding school performance reports to include a new reporting metric: consistent attendance. - Maintaining existing performance reporting categories, such as student academic performance, career and college readiness benchmarks, school safety, student demographics, and extracurricular activities. - Ensuring school performance reports continue to be updated annually and made publicly available on the Minnesota Department of Education's website. - Keeping school performance data classified as nonpublic until officially released by the state commissioner. - Establishing deadlines for publishing performance reports: September 1 for most years, but October 1 or November 1 in years when new academic performance standards are implemented.

By adding consistent attendance as a reporting requirement, the bill aims to enhance school accountability and transparency regarding student attendance patterns.
