What’s in it

This bill relates to the Iowa school performance profiles published by the department of education. Pursuant to the federal Every Student Succeeds Act and 2013 Iowa Acts, chapter 121, section 73, the department is required to publish on its internet site an online tool showing how public schools performed on certain required measures. The department fulfills these requirements by publishing the Iowa school performance profiles annually. The bill provides that, for purposes of calculating the performance grade for an attendance center, if a student returns to the school after dropping out and subsequently drops out again, the student’s second or subsequent dropping out of school shall not adversely affect the school’s performance grade.
