Bill Caption

Relating to excluding certain students from the computation of dropout and completion rates for purposes of public school accountability.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Under current law, the state has certain standards that govern how to compute completion and dropout rates as a measure of public school accountability. This bill would stipulate that those students who are detained in the juvenile detention facility are not eligible to be counted in the dropout and completion rates for accountability purposes.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill does not have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
