This bill mandates the Department of Education to develop and maintain an online Educational Opportunities Information System that catalogs various educational options available in the state, including public schools, chartered public schools, non-public schools, and learn everywhere programs. The system is required to feature detailed profiles for each educational opportunity, robust search capabilities, mapping functions, and allow educational facilities to manage their own data. The Department is tasked with issuing a request for proposal (RFP) for the development or licensing of this system.

To support the creation of this system, the bill appropriates $1 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, although it does not authorize new positions or provide additional funding beyond this nominal amount. The estimated cost for developing or purchasing the system is projected to be between $250,000 and $300,000, with ongoing administrative support costs anticipated to be around $98,000 in FY 2027, increasing slightly in subsequent years. The bill emphasizes the need for integration with existing systems and compliance with data privacy requirements, but it does not allocate sufficient funds to cover these expenses, raising concerns about the feasibility of the initiative.
