The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.305, subdivision 2, to enhance the reporting requirements for student attendance in relation to state assessments. A significant addition to the existing law is the requirement that individual student reports of state assessment results must now include the number and percentage of days a student was absent from school during the previous school year. This aims to provide a more comprehensive view of a student's performance and engagement in their education.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new reporting requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change is intended to improve the understanding of how attendance may impact student achievement and to provide parents, teachers, and school administrators with more relevant data to support student instruction and development.
