(1)

The state board shall designate at least five volunteer school districts and two volunteer boards of cooperative services and a volunteer charter school, that are representative of the state as to pupil size and population, to send representatives to form a voluntary committee, to be known as the education data advisory committee. The EDAC shall work with the department to review school district data reporting requirements and make recommendations as provided in this section.

(2)

The EDAC shall:

(a)

Review the statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements applicable to school districts and public schools and determine whether the benefits derived from the reports are outweighed by the increased administrative costs incurred by the school districts and public schools in preparing and submitting the reports;

(b)

Identify those statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements that are duplicative or obsolete and may be combined, eliminated, or otherwise streamlined;

(c)

Review each data reporting request made to school districts and public schools and notify school districts and public schools which of the following designations applies:

(I)

The request is mandatory because it is required by statute or rule;

(II)

The request is required to acquire a benefit because a statute or rule requires a school district or public school that chooses to seek or receive a specified governmental benefit to report the data; or

(III)

The request is voluntary because it is not specifically required by a statute or rule;

(d)

Review all proposed statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements, whether proposed in state or federal legislation or in rules, and, to the extent practicable prior to final adoption, inform the general assembly or the enacting state or federal agency of the estimated cost to the school districts and public schools of complying with the proposed statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements and make recommendations to the general assembly or to the enacting state or federal agency concerning whether the proposed requirements are already included in existing law or regulation and whether the proposed requirements are necessary and appropriate;

(e)

Advise the department on the impact of data practices and technology on school districts and public schools;

(f)

Periodically review the rules for implementing the federal “Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974”, 20 U.S.C. sec. 1232g, and recommend to the state board an interpretation of said act that will facilitate the exchange and sharing of student information to the greatest extent possible in compliance with the federal regulations for implementing said act; and

(g)

Review the processes and timing for collecting student demographic data and make recommendations to the state board for efficiently updating the data as necessary.

(2.5)

If there is a difference between the designation identified by the EDAC pursuant to subsection (2)(c) of this section and the department’s final determination, the state board shall engage in a public information session with the opportunity for public input and to allow the EDAC and the department to discuss their perspectives.

(3)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

The EDAC shall annually, or more often if necessary, make recommendations to the state board and to the appropriate legislative committees of reference based on the subject matter of the recommendation for the repeal or amendment of statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements that the EDAC has identified as duplicative, obsolete, or inefficient.

(b)

Repealed.

(4)

The EDAC shall identify those reporting requirements that may be consolidated into a single report or a single submission for purposes of streamlining data submission for school districts and public schools.

(5)

As used in this section, “statutory and regulatory data reporting requirements” includes all data reporting requirements that apply to school districts and public schools and that are imposed by federal or state statute or by rule of a federal or state agency, including but not limited to the data reporting requirements imposed by the department of human services, the department of public health and environment, and the department of health care policy and financing.
