Establishes April 1 as the annual reporting deadline for the basic educational data system (BEDS); modifies student population calculations.

The bill amends the education law to set April 1 as the annual reporting deadline for the basic educational data system (BEDS). It specifies that student population calculations for BEDS reporting should be based on the number of students enrolled at a school on BEDS day for a given school year and who are continuously enrolled at such school for more than half of the school year. The commissioner is tasked with adopting, promulgating, amending, or rescinding rules and regulations to implement these changes.
