THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 19. (1) A district or intermediate district shall comply

 

with all applicable reporting requirements specified in state and

 

federal law. Data provided to the center, in a form and manner

 

prescribed by the center, shall be aggregated and disaggregated as

 

required by state and federal law. In addition, a district or

data system.

 

     (2) Each district shall furnish to the center not later than 5

 

weeks after the pupil membership count day and by June 30 of the

 

school fiscal year ending in the fiscal year, in a manner

 

prescribed by the center, the information necessary for the

 

preparation of the district and high school graduation report. This

 

information shall meet requirements established in the pupil

 

auditing manual approved and published by the department. The

 

center shall calculate an annual graduation and pupil dropout rate

 

for each high school, each district, and this state, in compliance

 

with nationally recognized standards for these calculations. The

 

center shall report all graduation and dropout rates to the senate

 

and house education committees and appropriations committees, the

 

state budget director, and the department not later than 30 days

 

after the publication of the list described in subsection (6).(7).

 

     (3) By the first business day in December and by June 30 of

 

each year, a district shall furnish to the center, in a manner

 

prescribed by the center, information related to educational

 

personnel as necessary for reporting required by state and federal

 

law.

 

     (4) By June 30 of each year, a district shall furnish to the

 

center, in a manner prescribed by the center, information related

 

to safety practices and criminal incidents as necessary for

 

reporting required by state and federal law.

 

     (5) A district or intermediate district shall comply with the

 

requirements for emergency drills under section 19 of the fire

 

prevention code, 1941 PA 207, MCL 29.19. Not later than June 30 of

 

each year, a district shall furnish to the center and to its

 

intermediate district, and an intermediate district shall furnish

 

to the center, in the form and manner prescribed by the center, a

 

report certifying that the district or intermediate district has

 

completed all emergency drills required under section 19 of the

 

fire prevention code, 1941 PA 207, MCL 29.19, for the immediately

 

preceding school year.

 

     (6) (5) If a district or intermediate district fails to meet

 

the requirements of any of the subsections under this section, the

 

department shall withhold 5% of the total funds for which the

 

district or intermediate district qualifies under this article

 

until the district or intermediate district complies with all of

 

those subsections. If the district or intermediate district does

 

not comply with all of those subsections by the end of the fiscal

 

year, the department shall place the amount withheld in an escrow

 

account until the district or intermediate district complies with

 

all of those subsections.

 

     (7) (6) Before publishing a list of schools or districts

 

determined to have failed to make adequate yearly progress as

 

required by the no child left behind act of 2001, Public Law 107-

 

110, the department shall allow a school or district to appeal that

 

determination. The department shall consider and act upon the

 

appeal within 30 days after it is submitted and shall not publish

 

the list until after all appeals have been considered and decided.

 

     (8) (7) It is the intent of the legislature to implement not

 

later than 2014-2015 statewide standard reporting requirements for

 

education data approved by the department in conjunction with the

 

center. The department shall work with the center, intermediate

 

districts, districts, and other interested stakeholders to develop

 

recommendations on the implementation of this policy change. A

 

district or intermediate district shall implement the statewide

 

standard reporting requirements not later than 2014-2015 or when a

 

district or intermediate district updates its education data

 

reporting system, whichever is later.
