Bill Summary

This bill requires the Commissioner of Education to include information about the placement of students following graduation in the school performance reports, which are referred to as "report cards" under current law. School performance reports contain information on a number of student outcomes, including graduation and dropout rates, and post-secondary school enrollment. This bill would require the school performance report to contain additional information about the number of students achieving placement after graduating from high school. Under the bill, placement would include placement in an apprenticeship.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that the Commissioner of Education must include information about where graduates are placed after high school in the school performance reports, commonly known as "report cards," which currently detail outcomes like graduation rates and post-secondary enrollment. Specifically, these report cards will now need to show the number of students who have achieved "placement" after graduating, with "placement" explicitly defined to include enrollment in an apprenticeship program, providing a more comprehensive view of post-graduation success beyond just college enrollment.
