MN SF1236

Requires the commissioner to report student homelessness and high mobility rates as demographic factors that correlate with student performance in public test result reporting beginning with the 2015-2016 school year.

Mandates that when collecting student performance data, the commissioner organize and report information so policymakers can understand how changes in districts' demographic profiles over time, including homelessness and mobility rates, affect educational outcomes.

Requires all commissioner reports containing summary student performance data to integrate performance results with the demographic factors that strongly correlate with that performance.

Adds student homelessness and district mobility rates to the specific data elements that must be included in school performance reports posted on the department website annually by September 1 (or October 1 for reports reflecting new performance standards).
