Bill > S0937

This bill modifies Rhode Island's career and technical education (CTE) regulations by changing the responsibility for basic education program data collection for students attending CTE schools. Specifically, starting July 1, 2025, the school district where a student is actually attending and enrolled in a CTE program (the "receiving district") will be responsible for collecting and reporting individual student data, rather than the student's original "sending district". This means the administrative burden for tracking student information like attendance, grades, and other required reporting will shift to the school district hosting the CTE program. The bill builds upon existing legislation that supports students' rights to enroll in state-approved CTE programs outside their home district, particularly when similar programs are not available locally. The change aims to streamline data reporting processes and clarify responsibilities for schools participating in inter-district CTE programs, ensuring that the district directly involved with the student's education handles the necessary administrative requirements.
