scholarship recipients each such school enrolled, and aggregate test result data for the scholarship
recipients enrolled in each participating school.

program. Further provides that such report shall include a list of all participating schools located
in the legislator's district, the total number of students receiving scholarships enrolled in each
participating school, aggregate test result data for the scholarship recipients enrolled in each
participating school, and historical scholarship recipient enrollment and aggregate test result data
for every year the school has participated in the program.
