This bill amends the Reimagining Education and Career Help Act to enhance the information provided to individuals regarding career opportunities and potential earnings. Specifically, it requires the Office of Reimagining Education and Career Help to offer detailed insights into net potential earnings for public high school graduates with industry certifications and associate degrees, calculated for up to eight years post-graduation. The bill also mandates that this information be provided annually starting July 1, 2027, and emphasizes the importance of minimizing duplication of resources while improving access to workforce-related programs.

Additionally, the bill revises the regulations surrounding the use of video cameras in self-contained classrooms. It removes references to a pilot program and establishes a requirement for district school boards to vote on policies for video camera installation upon parental request. The bill prohibits schools from concealing the identity of employees in video recordings and mandates that any video made available must include accompanying audio. Furthermore, it outlines the responsibilities of schools regarding the retention and viewing of video recordings, ensuring that parents and relevant authorities can access these recordings under specified conditions. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2026.
