Bill > SF1469

This bill amends Minnesota's education statutes to modify reporting requirements for student assessment results by adding a new requirement that individual student assessment reports must now include information about the student's school attendance. Specifically, the bill mandates that each student's assessment report will now display the number and percentage of days the student was absent from school during the previous academic year. This addition aims to provide more comprehensive information about a student's educational experience, potentially helping parents, teachers, and administrators better understand how attendance might correlate with academic performance. The new reporting requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving schools and districts time to prepare for the change. The bill builds upon existing reporting requirements that already seek to provide detailed, useful information about student achievement, including growth indicators, performance data, and diagnostic insights about academic strengths and weaknesses. By incorporating attendance data directly into individual student assessment reports, the bill seeks to offer a more holistic view of student performance and potential factors influencing academic achievement.
