Sec. 23. (a) The department may adopt and provide to schools an early warning system or systems that:
(1) provide actionable data on students as early as elementary school;
(2) provide metrics based on student-level data to assist in identifying potential learning loss at the student, school, and district level;
(3) research proven predictive analytics for on time high school graduation using local data to determine threshold based indicators; and
(4) may include the following:
(A) Recommendations regarding an actionable intervention plan for each student who, based on graduation indicators and multitiered systems of support, is not on track to graduate on time or prepared for postsecondary success.
(B) Summative success data by each intervention plan used by each student, student group, and school.
(b) The department may, not later than August 1, 2021, annually select one (1) or more vendors to make available an early warning system or systems described in subsection (a). The department may require that the vendor or vendors provide to the department, at least twice annually a summary report in the aggregate regarding:
(1) students who, based on graduation indicators, are not on track to graduate on time;
(2) the intervention plans implemented for the students described in subdivision (1) in attempting to ensure the students graduate on time; and
(3) whether the intervention plans described in subdivision (2) are, based on graduation indicators, successful in moving students to be on track to graduate on time and, if applicable, graduating on time for the purpose of evaluating the return on investment of intervention programs.
The information provided in subdivisions (2) and (3) may be disaggregated by grade level.
