Existing law requires the boards of trustees of school districts, the sponsors of charter schools and the State Board of Education to prepare and publicly disseminate annual reports of accountability for the quality of schools and the educational achievement of pupils. (NRS 385A.070, 385A.400) Existing law prohibits a separate reporting for a group of pupils if the number of pupils in that group is insufficient to yield statistically reliable information or the results would reveal personally identifiable information about an individual pupil. (NRS 385A.070) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill require that, unless this existing prohibition on separate reporting for a group of pupils applies, the boards of trustees of school districts, the sponsors of charter schools and the State Board of Education must include within annual reports of accountability information on pupil achievement among: (1) pupils who have accrued 10 or more absences within the school year; and (2) pupils whose instruction in a core academic subject during the school year involved at least 4 consecutive weeks of instruction provided by someone other than a licensed teacher. Under sections 1 and 2, this information is required to be reported separately by gender and separately by certain other groups.
