The Education Code Adjustments Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance compulsory school attendance laws by focusing on chronic absenteeism and improving attendance reporting outcomes. Key amendments include changing the reporting date for attendance data from November 1 to December 15, and the introduction of new metrics to track chronic absenteeism and the effectiveness of school-based support teams. Additionally, the bill repeals the Public School Enrollment Census Act of 1998 and modifies various sections of existing laws to streamline reporting requirements and update terminology related to public schools and charter schools.

Furthermore, the bill allows the District of Columbia Education Research Practice Partnership to enter into direct contracts with government agencies for research projects, and it adjusts the frequency of certain reporting requirements from triennial to biennial. Other amendments include changes to the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, which simplifies certain legal references and reduces the number of required representatives. The act will take effect after approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
