AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 1B of Chapter 69 of the General Laws, which deals with education, by adding a new requirement for the board to annually publish a supplemental report. This report will contain student achievement data specifically for each approved private special education school or program, and it must include how students performed on the statewide assessment system, which is an approved standardized test used to measure student progress. The purpose of this addition is to provide parents with more information to help them make informed choices about special education placements for their children.
