Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act

This bill would require the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to collect and publish data on teachers and principals as part of its regular civil rights data collection. School districts and public schools would report the number of full-time teachers and principals, their years of experience, and whether teachers meet state licensing requirements, including in math, science, English as a second language, and special education. The data would be broken down by race, ethnicity, and sex. After each collection, the Department would publish a special report with state totals and make the underlying data available on its website, while working with its Chief Privacy Officer to keep individual information confidential.
