What’s in it

This bill directs the department of education to convene an achievement gap working group. The bill requires the working group to study any disparities in academic performance between different racial or ethnic groups of students in grades kindergarten through and provide a report to the general assembly by December 31, 2023, detailing the working group’s findings and recommendations. The report must include recommendations on how to reduce any academic performance gap that exists between different racial or ethnic groups of students.
