Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act

This bill requires 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 from school districts and public schools. The data would include the number of full-time teachers and principals, their years of experience, and how many teachers meet state licensing and certification requirements, including in math, science, English as a second language, and special education. The data must be able to be broken down by race, ethnicity, and sex. After each collection, the Department must publish a special report and the underlying data on its website, while protecting the privacy of individual teachers and principals.
