AI Summary

This bill requires K-12 schools in West Virginia to prominently display their school report card information on their websites, with specific requirements for presenting academic performance data. Specifically, county boards of education must use the state's electronic information system for data collection and reporting, and each school must display their percentages of students scoring proficient and distinguished in reading and mathematics on their website landing page in at least 16-point type. The state department of education will also post a rank order of all schools by overall academic performance on its website. Schools must display reading performance information in a banner format at the top of each webpage, and the state board of education will provide data files to county boards and offer guidance to help them meet these website requirements. The goal is to increase transparency and provide easy public access to school performance information, allowing parents, students, and community members to quickly understand how their local schools are performing academically.
