All Students Count Act of 2026
This bill requires public schools and state education departments to report student academic data broken down by specific Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander ethnic subgroups instead of using broad racial categories. By tracking test scores, graduation rates, and academic progress for distinct communities, public school report cards will show educational disparities that are often hidden when data is grouped together. These new reporting requirements would take effect 18 months after the bill becomes law.
People affected—While the legislative findings cite demographic statistics regarding Asian American and Pacific Islander populations, the operative text does not define a quantifiable number of students directly affected by the reporting change.
Fiscal magnitude—The bill text does not authorize or appropriate specific federal funds.
