Summary

High school graduation rate formula; Standards of Accreditation; exclusions. Requires the Board of Education (the Board) to report high school graduation rates that exclude any student who fails to graduate because he is in the custody of the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile Justice, or local law enforcement. The Board will use these graduation rates for the purposes of the Standards of Accreditation. The Board will continue to report graduation rates that include such students. The bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2016, with the exception of a requirement that the Board report to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Education and the Senate Committee on Education and Health on the Board's progress toward updating its formula for collecting, analyzing, and reporting high school graduation and dropout data no later than December 1, 2015.
