Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act

S 3736, the Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act, requires the U.S. Department of Education to collect and publish detailed data about teachers and principals in public schools. It mandates reporting on years of experience (broken into specific categories), certification status, subject-area qualifications (like math or special education), and demographic breakdowns by race, ethnicity, and sex. This data will be collected from all local educational agencies and public schools participating in civil rights data collection. The goal is to create public reports and accessible online data showing workforce composition and experience levels across states, with privacy protections for individual educators.
