Bill > AR87

This resolution, HR 87, expresses the Legislature's intent to improve pupil well-being and academic outcomes by ensuring that education resources are used effectively and efficiently, directly benefiting students and classrooms. It acknowledges that while some planning and reporting are necessary for transparency and evaluation, a recent increase in new requirements for local educational agencies (LEAs), which are the entities responsible for public schools, has led to duplicative and burdensome obligations that divert resources from student services. To address this, the resolution urges the Legislature and other state entities involved in public education, including the Governor and various departments and boards, to adopt a systematic process for analyzing proposed new reporting and planning requirements. This analysis should consider key questions such as the purpose and intended use of the information, who will use it, its value and opportunity cost, its feasibility, whether the information is already being reported, and how long the requirement should be in effect. The goal is to create a more coherent accountability structure that aligns with the commitment to maximizing resources for pupils and classrooms.
