A bill for an act requiring the director of the department of education to prepare, publish, and submit to the general assembly annual reports related to reading proficiency, mathematics proficiency, and area education agencies.

This bill requires Iowa's Department of Education director to create and publish two annual reports. The first details K-3 reading and K-6 math proficiency in school districts, including how well districts meet existing requirements (Code sections 279.68 and 279.68A). The second examines the impact of 2024's Chapter 1002 on area education agencies' operations. Both reports must be submitted to the legislature by December 31 each year and posted online. School districts and area education agencies are directly affected through these reporting requirements.
