What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each school that maintains an Internet site and for which the

Department of Public Instruction has published an accountability report to

prominently display a link to the school's most recent accountability report on that

school's Internet site within 30 days after the department publishes the

accountability report. The bill requires each private school participating in a

parental choice program and independent charter school that maintains an Internet

site to do the same.

Current law requires the department to annually, by September, publish an

accountability report. The department must establish an index system and, using

this index system, place each school and school district in a performance category

based upon certain measures, including pupil achievement, growth, and graduation

rates, for the preceding school year. Current law requires that the department

include independent charter schools and private schools participating in a parental

choice program in the school accountability report published in September 2016.
