LB352 amends §79- 760.05 to change the provisions relating to the reports on student achievement & on student discipline that are
required under the Quality Education Accountability Act.
The State Board of Education will make a database for the public that contains all student discipline data, de-identified. The database
will be searchable by school district, school building, offense, type of discipline imposed, type of school resource officer or other law
enforcement involvement, if any type of restraint was used, & if any type of seclusion was utilized.
The State Board of Education will have each school district designate at least one discipline data coordinator for the purposes of
gathering & reporting the discipline data. The contact info rmation for that discipline data coordinator will be published on the school
district's website.
If the Commissioner of Education determines that any district has intentionally refused, in a material manner, to comply, the
commissioner will then notify the district of the noncompliance & allow that district a reasonable amount of time to comply. If the
commissioner determines, after the reasonable amount of time has elapsed, that the district is still not in compliance & has not made a
good-faith attempt to comply, they will then take appropriate remedial action within th eir authority, up to & including qualifying the
noncompliance as a violation of the rules & regulations for the accreditation of the schools within that district .
FISCAL IMPACT:
LB352 would require some additional data elements to be collected by NDE as well as si gnificant enhancements to the Nebraska
Education Profile (NEP), those enhancements have an estimated cost of $40,000.

Explanation of Estimate:
As part of the Civil Rights Data Collection from the US Department of Education, the NDE has been reporting
aggregate disciplinary rates for over 10 years. Since 2022, the NDE has been collecting student level data as
part of requirements under 79 -760.05. The NDE reported these data publicly on the Nebraska Education
Profile in 2024. LB352 would require some additional data elements to be collected as well as significant
enhancements to the Nebraska Education Profile, which the NDE estimates to cost $40,000 in total costs.
