What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Public Instruction to annually, by

November 30, publish a school and school district accountability report, commonly

referred to as school and school district report cards. DPI 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 in pupil achievement, and graduation rates, for the preceding school year.

This bill requires DPI, for purposes of measuring a school district's improvement, to

exclude data derived from a juvenile detention facility or secured residential care

center for children and youth if 50 percent or more of the pupils residing at the facility

do not reside there for the entire school term.
