Enact the School Rating Enhancement Act

This bill creates a new state report card specifically for chartered nonpublic schools that accept state scholarship students, requiring the department of education to issue these cards annually by mid-September. To oversee the process, the legislation establishes a State Report Card Review Committee composed of legislators, educators, parents, business representatives, and other stakeholders to study existing report cards and suggest improvements. The committee must include members from diverse backgrounds, such as special education experts and representatives from urban, suburban, and rural districts, and will submit its findings to the legislature by June. Additionally, the bill mandates that all state report cards be posted in a prominent location on the department's website to ensure public access.
