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 reporting requirements is the inclusion of a new provision that mandates individual student reports of state assessment results to contain 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 attendance, which can be critical for understanding their academic progress.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new reporting requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments to be made in the reporting systems to accommodate the inclusion of attendance data alongside academic performance metrics. Overall, the bill seeks to improve the transparency and utility of student performance reports for parents, educators, and school administrators.
