Bill Summary
This bill requires the annual school report card to include information concerning the number of school psychologists and school security personnel employed by each school district. Under current law, the Commissioner of Education is required to administer the School Report Card Program, which provides for the annual preparation and dissemination of school report cards for parents and other interested parties within each district. As required by law, the school report card contains information and data concerning academic achievement, district spending, student discipline, and various other items. Under this bill, the annual report card submitted by a school district would also be required to include the following information for each school within the district: (1) the number of school psychologists and the ratio of students to school psychologists; and (2) the number of school security personnel, including safe schools resource officers, Class Three special law enforcement officers, and any other security officers, respectively, and the ratio of students to each category of school security personnel.

This bill adds new requirements to provide more information about the mental health and security resources available in each school.
