This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.36, subdivision 1, to enhance the reporting requirements for school performance reports. The amendment introduces a new requirement for the commissioner to include student attendance data for the previous school year as part of the performance reports. This addition is aimed at providing a more comprehensive overview of school performance by incorporating attendance metrics alongside existing data on academic performance, safety, engagement, and other factors.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new reporting requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. The changes are intended to improve transparency and accountability in the education system by ensuring that attendance, a critical factor in student success, is systematically reported and analyzed alongside other performance indicators.
