This bill mandates that local chief school administrators report annually to their respective boards of education on student proficiency in English language arts, literacy, and mathematics, specifically for those who received a State endorsed diploma. The report must include whether these students exhibited grade-level proficiency according to local graduation requirements and demonstrated proficiency in English language arts or mathematics based on the most recent Statewide assessment results. Additionally, the report will outline circumstances under which diplomas were issued to students who did not meet these proficiency standards, including those who scored in the lower tiers of the assessment.

The bill emphasizes that all reported information must be aggregated, ensuring that no student-level or personally identifiable information is disclosed. Furthermore, the board of education is responsible for approving the report, which must be submitted to the Department of Education and made publicly available on both the local board's and the department's websites. This initiative aims to address concerns regarding student preparedness for graduation, highlighting the need for accountability among school administrators and local boards of education in improving educational outcomes.
