| 1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, The Illinois State Board of Education is required | ||||||
| 3 | to collect vast amounts of school and
student data from public | ||||||
| 4 | school districts across the State; and
| ||||||
| 5 | WHEREAS, The data collected is required by State-mandated | ||||||
| 6 | regulations through the Illinois
School Code, the Illinois | ||||||
| 7 | Administrative Code, or by numerous federal requirements; and
| ||||||
| 8 | WHEREAS, Reporting local school and student data is | ||||||
| 9 | oftentimes burdensome, costly, redundant,
and time-consuming | ||||||
| 10 | for school districts and school staff; and
| ||||||
| 11 | WHEREAS, With various State and federal mandates, school | ||||||
| 12 | districts may be reporting the same
data to meet different | ||||||
| 13 | requirements; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 14 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
| 15 | HUNDRED SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
| 16 | we urge the Illinois State Board of Education to review | ||||||
| 17 | existing data reporting mandates, both State and federal, in | ||||||
| 18 | an effort to streamline the reporting system and remove | ||||||
| 19 | redundant data collection; and be it further | ||||||
| 20 | RESOLVED, That the State Board of Education study the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | following: | ||||||
| 2 | (1) Areas in which data collecting may be streamlined | ||||||
| 3 | to eliminate inefficiencies in the data
reporting system | ||||||
| 4 | for local school districts; | ||||||
| 5 | (2) Areas in which data collecting may be streamlined | ||||||
| 6 | so that school districts are not required
to report the | ||||||
| 7 | same data multiple times to meet different State and | ||||||
| 8 | federal requirements; and | ||||||
| 9 | (3) Areas in which data collecting is not required by | ||||||
| 10 | State or federal mandates so that school
districts are not | ||||||
| 11 | required to report data that is not used to improve the | ||||||
| 12 | educational
outcomes of students and schools; and be it | ||||||
| 13 | further | ||||||
| 14 | RESOLVED, That the State Board of Education is urged to | ||||||
| 15 | submit a report to the General Assembly by
December 31, 2021 | ||||||

| 17 | how
