Board of School Administrators reporting requirements modification
Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026)

Related bill: HF2483

AI Generated Summary

Purpose

  • The bill would require public reporting by the Board of School Administrators. Specifically, by December 31, 2018 and every year after, the board must publish on its website the cumulative summary results of three years of data reported to the board under a separate statute (section 122A.091, subdivision 1) for each principal preparation program.

Main Provisions

  • Amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 122A.14 subdivision 10 to add a new subdivision (Subd. 10) titled “Principal preparation program reporting.”
  • Requirement: By the stated deadline (December 31, 2018 and annually thereafter), the Board of School Administrators shall report and publish on its website the cumulative summary results of three years of data reported to the board under section 122A.091, subdivision 1, for each principal preparation program.

What this changes in law

  • Establishes an annual, public reporting obligation focused on principal preparation programs.
  • Requires public posting of three-year cumulative data, sourced from data already reported to the board under another statute (122A.091, subd. 1).
  • Shifts transparency and accountability for principal preparation programs to a publicly accessible format.

How this would work in practice

  • The board collects data under 122A.091, subd. 1 for each principal preparation program.
  • Each year, the board compiles a three-year cumulative summary for each program.
  • The board publishes these summaries on its website, making them accessible to the public and stakeholders.

Potential implications

  • Increases visibility and comparison opportunities for principal preparation programs.
  • Provides stakeholders with ongoing, aggregated performance information about programs intended to prepare school principals.

Important definitions (in context)

  • Principal preparation program: Programs designed to prepare individuals to become school principals.
  • Board of School Administrators: The state board responsible for certain oversight and reporting related to school administration programs.
  • Cumulative summary results: Aggregated results that cover three years of data, rather than single-year figures.
  • Data reported to the board under section 122A.091, subdivision 1: The underlying data set used to produce the published summaries.

Relevant Terms - Board of School Administrators - principal preparation program - reporting - cumulative summary results - three years of data - on its website - 122A.14 subdivision 10 - Subd. 10 - Minnesota Statutes 2024 - section 122A.091 subdivision 1
