What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to develop a

proposal for a multiple-vendor student information system (SIS). DPI must submit

the proposal to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) for its approval. If JCF

approves the proposal, DPI must implement it and must ensure that information

about pupils enrolled in charter schools and about pupils enrolled in private schools

participating in a parental choice program (PCP) is collected and maintained in the

SIS. Current law also provides that if the SIS is established, DPI must ensure that

within five years, every school district and every charter school is using the SIS, and

that every private school participating in a PCP is either using the SIS or is using

a system that is interoperable with the SIS.

This bill allows a private school participating in a PCP to use the SIS

established by DPI, but does not require the private school to do so or to establish its

own student information system.
