Current law directs DPI to establish a student information system to collect information about pupils enrolled in public schools, including their academic performance and demographic information. Within five years of the system's establishment, every school district must use the system.
This bill includes charter schools in the student information system. The bill also provides that within five years of the system's establishment, every private school participating in a parental choice program must use the system or use another system that is interoperable with the state system.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
