What this bill would do
The All Students Count Act of 2026 seeks to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. This bill requires annual State report cards to reflect the same race groups used in the decennial census of population. It focuses on providing more detailed data for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students. Specifically, it mandates the breakdown of these broad categories into specific ethnic subgroups. These changes are intended to better reflect changing demographics and student needs. The new requirements are set to take effect 18 months after the bill is enacted.
