Bill > SB312

This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to develop and implement a standardized electronic method for creating, collecting, using, maintaining, disclosing, transferring, and accessing student data across school districts and education service districts. The method must facilitate fast electronic record transfers, improve interoperability of educational and health records, minimize reporting burdens, reduce duplicate student records when students transfer between educational settings, and enable data access for research purposes. The bill requires the method to collect various types of student data, including names, demographic information, assessment data, course completions, education records, individualized education programs, attendance data, and medical information. To support implementation, ODE will establish a technical advisory committee with representatives from various educational organizations and stakeholders, provide training to school districts, and ensure data integrity and security during the transition. The bill includes an emergency clause, making it effective immediately upon passage, with full implementation scheduled by July 1, 2027. The goal is to create a more efficient, comprehensive, and interconnected student data system that reduces administrative redundancies while protecting student privacy.
