What’s in it

This bill requires school districts to provide the parent or guardian of each student enrolled in the school district with a printed copy of the student’s report card each semester, or the trimester or quarter equivalent. The bill establishes that school districts may fulfill this requirement either by mailing the report card to the parent or guardian, by providing the report card to the parent or guardian by hand delivery, or by providing the report card to the student and directing the student to take the report card home to the student’s parent or guardian.

Fiscal note

Can’t be estimated Compare with other bills

House File 2154 will have no fiscal impact on the State but may have an impact to local school districts. The Bill may increase printing and postage costs to individual school districts. The increased costs would be paid out of the individual school district’s general fund; however, the number of school districts that will need to modify the way report cards are provided to parents and guardians is unknown.
