The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1280h, which mandates that by July 1, 2026, school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies must post a link to the MI School Data website's parent dashboard for school transparency on their public websites. Additionally, starting July 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, these educational institutions are required to notify the parents or legal guardians of each enrolled student. This notification must include data from the MI School Data website's education dashboard and the school's performance on state assessments by subject area.

Furthermore, the bill directs the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) to expand the information available on the MI School Data website's education dashboard to include data from the parent dashboard. CEPI is also tasked with ensuring that the website has a function that allows for the comparison of information from the education dashboard for public schools across the state. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and provide parents with essential performance data regarding their children's schools.
