This Amendment to House Bill No.

Plain English Breakdown

The bill text excerpt contains conflicting dates (mentioning 'Beginning December 31, 2023' alongside the new August 30 deadline), but the summary clarifies the intent is to change the due date from Dec 31 to Aug 30.

Amendment Changing School Data Report Dates and Content

This amendment removes a mid-year reporting requirement, adds long-term data analysis to the annual report for each district and charter school, and changes the due date of that annual report from December 31st to August 30th.

What This Bill Does

• Removes the rule requiring schools or agencies to submit a mid-year report.
• Adds a requirement for the Department of Education to include longitudinal data analysis in its annual report based on October 31 and June 30 submissions.
• Changes the due date for the annual education report from December 31st to August 30th.

Who It Names or Affects

• The Department of Education
• School districts
• Charter schools

Terms To Know

Longitudinal data analysis

A study that looks at the same group or school over a long period to see how it changes.

Mid-year reporting requirement

A rule that asked for official reports to be sent in the middle of the year, which this bill removes.

Limits and Unknowns

• The text does not state a specific date when these new rules will start.
• While the amendment states local review of mid-year data is still important, it does not explain how schools must do it without the official report requirement.

Official Summary Text

This Amendment to House Bill No. 267 removes the mid-year reporting requirement, although the removal of the mid-year reporting does not diminish the importance of reviewing mid-year data at the local level. It also adds "Longitudinal data analysis for each district and charter school of the data collected in the October 31 and June 30 submissions" to the annual reporting requirements of the Department of Education. Finally, it makes the annual report from the DOE due on or before August 30th , rather than December 31st.
