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) Such annual reports of accountability are required to include certain information concerning the results of pupils on criterion-referenced examinations and the college and career readiness assessment. (NRS 385A.200, 385A.410) 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, 385A.400) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill require that, unless the 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 pupils who have accrued more than 10 absences before the first day of the period prescribed by the State Board for the administration of criterion-referenced examinations or the college and career readiness assessment at the school of the pupil, whichever is earlier. Under sections 1 and 2, this information is required to be reported separately by certain pupil characteristics.
