School and school district accountability report

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
