Bill > SF1470

This bill amends Minnesota's education statutes to require the inclusion of student attendance data in school performance reports, which are annual comprehensive documents that provide information about school and district performance. Specifically, the bill adds a new requirement (section 13, paragraph (a)) mandating that school performance reports must now include student attendance data for the previous school year, alongside existing reporting requirements such as academic performance, student demographics, school safety, and other key metrics. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools and the state education department time to prepare for the new reporting requirement. The school performance reports, which are published annually by the state commissioner of education, are designed to provide transparent and detailed information about public school performance and are typically made available to the public by September 1st each year (or slightly later in years with new performance standards). These reports help stakeholders, including parents, educators, and policymakers, understand the comprehensive performance and characteristics of individual schools and school districts.
