ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                             Ch. 229 Preamble WHEREAS, The high schools of the State play an integral role in preparing
students for college and work in the 21st century; and WHEREAS, It is of critical importance to the success of our economy, civic life,
and assurance of equal opportunity that public high schools provide this preparation;
and WHEREAS, Without accurate data regarding graduation rates it is extremely
difficult to evaluate the efficacy of the State's system of public education; and WHEREAS, Better information can lead to better policies and program
implementation; and WHEREAS, Parents and community members, who are critical to ensuring
strong educational accountability, are hampered in their efforts to improve our
schools if they do not have accurate data; and WHEREAS, It is of critical importance that accurate data be collected,
maintained, analyzed, and publicly reported by our State's education system with
respect to high school student graduation rates; and WHEREAS, Existing data from independent researchers indicates that when
graduation rates are disaggregated by racial and ethnic groups, students with
disabilities, students who are limited English proficient, and socioeconomically
disadvantaged students, many of these subgroups are experiencing particularly low
rates of high school graduation; and WHEREAS, The State of Maryland should be committed to developing and
implementing a student record data system with unique student identifiers that can
track students from kindergarten through postsecondary education; and WHEREAS, The State of Maryland should be committed to maintaining a data
and public reporting system that accurately accounts for all students when
calculating high school graduation rates and informs the public of progress toward
the goal of universal high school graduation; now, therefore, SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows: Article - Education 7-203.2. (A) (1) IN THIS SECTION THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS
