This bill requires the Department of Education to collect and publish detailed federal data on the teaching and principal workforce as part of its existing civil rights data collection efforts. Schools and school districts must report information about the number of teachers and principals employed, their years of experience, their licensing and certification status, and their subject-matter qualifications in areas like math, science, and special education. All of this data must be broken down by race, ethnicity, and sex to identify potential disparities in the educator workforce. The Department must publish the collected data and special reports on its website in accessible formats like graphs and percentages, while working with its privacy officer to keep individual teacher and principal information confidential. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment and applies to all future civil rights data collection cycles conducted by the Department.
