This bill mandates that the commissioner of the department of education withhold grant funds from any public school or district until the school submits its input-based school accountability system report. The report must be completed by January 15 of every even-numbered year, and both the school principal and district superintendent are required to certify the accuracy of the submitted responses. The commissioner or their designee will review these responses to ensure compliance with established standards.

Additionally, the bill repeals a previous requirement related to reports filed from New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) certified schools. The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage. The fiscal impact of this legislation is currently undetermined as the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant is awaiting further information from the Department of Education.
