Bill > HB4149

This bill requires school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies to enhance transparency and communication with parents by implementing several key provisions. By July 1, 2026, these educational entities must post a link to the MI School Data website's parent dashboard on their public websites. Starting July 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, they must notify parents or legal guardians about specific school performance information, including data from the education dashboard and the school's performance on state assessments. The bill also mandates that the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) expand the MI School Data website to include more comprehensive information from the parent dashboard and create a function that allows comparison of educational performance across public schools in the state. The goal of these requirements is to provide parents with easier access to transparent, comparative information about their children's schools, helping them make more informed educational decisions.
