AI Summary

This bill requires the state department to collect and report detailed data on "opportunity public charter schools," which are schools that provide educational alternatives, on its website. This data will include graduation rates beyond the standard four years, credit attainment progress for high school students, and the percentage of students meeting various college and career readiness benchmarks, such as ACT scores, postsecondary credit-earning assessments, industry credentials, and ASVAB scores. All reported data must be broken down by student subgroups like race, gender, and disability status. Additionally, if certain officials like a director of schools, juvenile court judge, or a caseworker from the department of children's services know a student is at-risk and eligible for an opportunity public charter school, they must inform the student and their guardian about this eligibility and the locations of nearby opportunity public charter schools.
