SUMMARY

This amendment strikes the provision in the committee amendment to the bill that requires the Department of Education to collect and aggregate data reported by school administrative units that submit reports of certificates of content area proficiency issued to students who demonstrate proficiency. The amendment replaces this requirement with permissive language that allows the department to collect and report aggregate data reported by school administrative units.
