The Education Reports Simplification Amendment Act of 2025 aims to streamline and modernize the reporting requirements for the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) and the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The bill seeks to eliminate outdated and redundant reporting obligations that have become burdensome and no longer serve their intended purpose. Key provisions include the repeal of several reporting mandates, such as OSSE's annual real estate portfolio review and the requirement for independent contractors to conduct separate student enrollment censuses. Additionally, the bill consolidates overlapping reports and updates submission deadlines to improve efficiency and relevance.

Specific amendments include changing the deadline for certain pre-k program evaluations from December 30 to May 15, and requiring OSSE to submit a comprehensive annual report on healthy schools data instead of multiple reports throughout the year. The bill also repeals the requirement for the DCPS Chancellor to submit an annual report on student progress, as similar data is already mandated elsewhere. Overall, the legislation reflects a commitment to enhancing educational governance by allowing agencies to focus more on improving student outcomes rather than fulfilling excessive reporting requirements.
