HF1413

This bill modifies attendance reporting requirements in Minnesota's education system by amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.36, subdivision 1.

Key changes introduced by the bill include: - Adding "consistent attendance" as a required metric in school performance reports. - Maintaining existing reporting requirements on student academic performance, school safety, student engagement, rigorous coursework, college and career readiness benchmarks, English language acquisition, student demographics, and extracurricular activities. - Clarifying that school performance reports must be updated annually and made available on the Department of Education's website. - Establishing a timeline for public release of school performance reports, generally by September 1 each year unless new performance standards are introduced, in which case the deadline may be extended to October 1 or November 1 depending on the type of assessment changes.

The bill ensures that data related to school performance remains nonpublic until officially released by the commissioner and provides an appeals process for schools and districts to contest reported data.
