What’s in it

AI summary Iowa's Department of Education currently publishes grades to show how well public schools are performing. Under this new rule, if a student drops out of school, comes back later, and then drops out again, that second departure won't lower the school's performance grade. This change ensures that a single student leaving multiple times does not unfairly hurt a school's score.1

Read the official explanation

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.
