All Students Count Act of 2026
This bill requires public schools and state education agencies to break down student academic performance data into specific Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander ethnic subgroups. Instead of grouping these diverse populations into broad racial categories, school report cards would track achievement and graduation rates for specific heritages, such as Cambodian, Filipino, or Samoan students. Starting 18 months after enactment, this reporting is meant to highlight hidden achievement gaps so schools and communities can better target educational support.
