This 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 with specific data, including the school's performance on state assessments and other relevant information from the MI School Data website.

Furthermore, the bill directs the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) to enhance the education dashboard on the MI School Data website by incorporating data from the parent dashboard and ensuring that a comparison function for public school information is available. This initiative aims to improve transparency and accessibility of school performance data for parents and guardians, thereby fostering informed decision-making regarding their children's education.
