The proposed General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1391 seeks to improve the transparency of data concerning multilingual learners in Connecticut's public schools. Effective July 1, 2025, the bill amends section 10-10a of the general statutes to require the state-wide public school information system to track and report additional data, including students' primary language spoken at home, their academic progress in bilingual education programs, and various metrics related to student performance and school demographics. Additionally, it mandates the collection of data on student enrollment and graduation from higher education institutions for those assigned a unique student identifier.

The bill also revises section 10-17o to establish a written bill of rights for parents or guardians of multilingual learners, ensuring their rights in the provision of bilingual education are protected. This includes the right to attend public school regardless of immigration status, access to translation services, and participation in bilingual education programs. Notably, it adds a provision allowing parents and guardians to access publicly available data regarding the academic progress of students in bilingual education programs. Overall, Raised Bill No. 1391 aims to create a more inclusive educational environment for multilingual learners and their families by enhancing data transparency and accessibility within the state's public school system.
