HB 1367

Department of Education; English language learner students; expenditures; data collection; report. Requires the Department of Education, in consultation with each school board, to annually collect, maintain, post publicly and conspicuously on its website, and report no later than November 1 to the Board of Education, the Governor, and the General Assembly data on expenditures for the education of English language learner students in each local school division. The bill requires such data to be disaggregated by school level, grade level, and student English proficiency level and such annual report to contain recommendations for any increase in funding pursuant to the general appropriation act or amendment to the relevant portion of Standard of Quality 2, or both, that may be necessary to ensure that the actual cost of educating English language learner students is accurately reflected in the Standards of Quality funding formula.
