Bill > H7027

This bill revises Florida's K-20 education performance accountability system by enhancing the collection and reporting of statewide education data, ensuring improved access to information within the K-20 data warehouse, and requiring school districts to allocate at least 15% of their Title I, Part A funds for interventions aimed at improving the performance of Title I schools and closing student achievement gaps. It also modifies provisions related to how schools are assigned grades or improvement ratings, including adjustments to the minimum number of students required for a school to receive a grade and how data from certain types of schools, like alternative schools or those serving hospital-bound students, are factored into grading. Additionally, the bill mandates that higher education institutions adopt common data elements for better data exchange and requires the Department of Education to analyze the effectiveness of interventions used in school improvement plans to identify best practices.
