The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 120B.305, subdivision 2, to enhance the reporting requirements for student assessments. It maintains existing provisions that ensure timely and useful information on student performance, including growth indicators and compliance with academic standards. The commissioner is tasked with making individual student performance data available within three school days of assessments and providing diagnostic information to aid in instructional improvement.

A significant addition to the reporting requirements is the inclusion of a student's attendance record in the individual student report of state assessment results. Specifically, the report must now detail the number and percentage of days the student was absent from school during the previous academic year. This amendment aims to provide a more comprehensive view of student performance and engagement. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025.
