SB 575 -- SCHOOL BUILDING REPORT CARDS

This bill revises the statute on school district reporting to be
consistent with a building-level reporting requirement.  The
statute currently requires the State Board of Education to adopt
a policy for public reporting of district information.  As
revised, the statute calls for an annual report for each
building in a district to be made available in several ways,
including but not limited to, providing the report when a
student enrolls or receives grades, in newspapers, or by posting
on the Internet.  The bill deletes the requirement for the
development of multiple reporting models; substitutes a standard
form, which districts may use; and deletes the information
required on extracurricular activities and their costs, as well
as the requirement for reporting the number of hours of
attendance, while retaining the requirement for days of
attendance.  Instead of reporting financial information on a
building level only when a district has 2 or more buildings that
hold the same grades, the bill requires reporting on the
district as a whole and by attendance center.
