Bill > HF1413

This bill modifies Minnesota's education attendance reporting requirements by adding a new provision for tracking and reporting "consistent attendance" in school performance reports. Specifically, the bill defines consistent attendance as a student attending more than 90 percent of school days while being enrolled for at least half an academic year. The commissioner of education will be required to post consistent attendance data for the 2024-2025 school year on the department's public website by September 1, 2025, and annually thereafter. The bill also expands the existing school performance report requirements to include this new consistent attendance metric alongside other existing data points such as academic performance, school safety, student engagement, coursework rigor, and demographic information. The new reporting requirement aims to provide more transparency about student participation and regular school attendance. The changes will become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools and the education department time to prepare for the new reporting standard. The bill allows the commissioner to update reported data after September 1 of each year to ensure accuracy and validity.
