Charter schools; require to compile and release same data as noncharter public schools.

SB 2064 requires Mississippi charter schools to compile and publicly release the same data as traditional public schools, including student performance metrics and school report card information. This bill directly affects charter schools by mandating transparency in the same data reporting that noncharter public schools must provide under existing law (specifically referencing Section 37-11-18.1 on the Mississippi Report Card). The key provision amends Mississippi Code §37-28-45 to remove an exemption allowing charter schools to avoid these reporting requirements. The bill would have required charter schools to share data on student achievement, graduation rates, and other metrics currently published by public school districts. Note: SB 2064 died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
