Bill > HF1054

This bill amends Minnesota's education statutes to require school performance reports to include student attendance data for the previous school year, starting July 1, 2025. Currently, school performance reports include various types of data such as academic performance, school safety, student engagement, coursework rigor, English language acquisition, student-to-teacher ratios, staff characteristics, enrollment demographics, and extracurricular activities. The bill adds student attendance data as a mandatory reporting element, which means schools and districts will now need to include comprehensive information about how often students are present in school as part of their annual performance reporting. These reports are publicly released by the Minnesota Department of Education, typically by September 1st each year (or slightly later in years with new performance standards), and are designed to provide transparent information about school performance. The addition of attendance data can help education officials and the public better understand patterns of student participation and potential barriers to consistent school attendance.
