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 mandate that individual student reports of state assessment results must now include the number and percentage of days the student was absent from school during the previous school year. This change aims to provide a more comprehensive view of student performance by incorporating attendance data, which can be a critical factor in academic achievement.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the new reporting requirement will take effect on July 1, 2025. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments in reporting systems to accommodate the inclusion of attendance data in student performance reports. Overall, the bill seeks to improve the quality and utility of information available to parents, teachers, and school administrators regarding student performance and attendance.
