AI Summary
This bill, known as the "All Students Count Act," requires the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (RIDE) and its subagencies to use separate collection categories and tabulations for specified Asian ethnic groups, including Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian groups, in every demographic report on the ancestry or ethnic origins of students. The bill also mandates that RIDE and its subagencies cross-tabulate student outcome data by gender, disability, and English proficiency, and make the demographic data publicly available on their websites, except for personal identifying information, which must be kept confidential. The bill applies only to the collection of data for students in the public elementary and secondary education system and not to postsecondary education.
