Bill > HB29

This bill amends Delaware's education reporting requirements by updating how the Department of Education collects and publishes education-related data. The bill renames the existing "Education Profile reports" to "education-related data" and expands the scope and accessibility of school performance information. The Department must now collect and release comprehensive data about Delaware public schools, including charter and vocational-technical schools, covering areas such as student enrollment, staff information, academic performance, student health, and extracurricular activities. The reports must be published annually by August 1st and be made available on multiple websites, including the Department of Education's homepage and the school choice website. The bill requires the reports to provide user-friendly, comparable data that helps educators, families, and citizens make informed decisions about education. New specific details must be included, such as proficiency rates, demographic information (including low-income students, students with IEPs, and English Language Learners), career pathways, and information about sports teams, including gender representation. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability in the state's public education system while providing comprehensive, accessible information about school performance.
