The federal government would collect more detailed information about teachers and school principals, including data on their backgrounds, training, salaries, and how long they stay in their jobs. This would help policymakers and school districts better understand workforce trends and identify areas where teacher shortages or other staffing problems exist. Schools and education agencies would be required to report this information to the Department of Education.
