The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.305, subdivision 2, to enhance the reporting requirements for student assessments. It maintains the existing obligations for timely and useful reporting of state assessment results, including individual student performance, growth indicators, and academic standards compliance. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for accessible performance data for parents, teachers, and school administrators to support student achievement projections and instructional improvements.

A significant new requirement introduced in this bill is the inclusion of attendance data in individual student reports. Specifically, the report must now detail the number and percentage of days a student was absent from school during the previous academic year. This amendment aims to provide a more comprehensive view of student performance and engagement, which is crucial for understanding their academic progress. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025.
