This bill would, contingent upon an appropriation for these purposes, require the department to, on or before January 1, 2025, include a report on its internet website that allows the public to view statewide-level four- and five-year cohort graduation rates for pupils who are individuals with exceptional needs, disaggregated by certain identified disabilities, as provided.
