Description
Board of Education; creation and maintenance of Virginia Parent Data Portal; report. Requires the Board of Education, on or before July 1, 2025, to create and maintain the Virginia Parent Data Portal that, among other things, (i) displays individualized student assessment data on all state-supported assessments, as that term is defined in the bill, (a) in a format that shows both current and cumulative data over time and (b) within 45 days of a state-supported assessment window closing for each state-supported assessment; (ii) provides a description of the purpose of each state-supported assessment, an explanation of how to interpret student data on each state-supported assessment, and a comparison of a student's performance on each state-supported assessment with the performance of the student's school, the student's school division, and the Commonwealth; (iii) is viewable from a mobile device in addition to a desktop computer; and (iv) provides functionality to enable school division personnel to manage and restrict user access to students and their parents. The bill requires the Board and the Department of Education to provide certain guidance and technical assistance to local school divisions on professional development for principals and teachers in parent engagement on and interpretation of student assessment data available through the Portal and requires each school board to annually provide high-quality professional development to principals and teachers on such topics. The foregoing provisions of the bill do not become effective unless reenacted by the 2024 Session of the General Assembly. Finally, the bill establishes a work group for the purpose of advising the Board of Education on the criteria for and the process of procuring the goods and services necessary to implement the Portal and requires such work group to submit a report containing its findings and any recommendations to the Board of Education and the General Assembly no later than November 1, 2023. This bill is identical to HB 1629. Read the Bill »

Comments
Although I support the intention underlying this bill, I have two concerns. First, is the cost of the accumulating, securing and publishing the data. Second, there the bill is contradictory in its call for data collection, etc, while at the same time requiring strict security controls. The part of the language should be strengthened. "Complies with relevant privacy standards, including §§ 2.2-3802 and 22.1-287.02 and 20 U.S.C. § 1232g."
