If the joint committee on finance approves the proposal, or modifies and approves the proposal, the state superintendent shall implement the proposal and the joint committee on finance may release to the state superintendent funds from the appropriation under s. 20.865(4)(a) for the purpose of paying the costs incurred by schools and school districts to meet the proposal's reporting requirements.

(c) If the proposal is approved under par. (b), the state superintendent shall ensure that information about pupils enrolled in charter schools and about pupils enrolled in private schools participating in a parental choice program under s. 118.60 or 119.23, including their academic performance and demographic information, aggregated by school district, school, and teacher, is collected and maintained in the student information system.

(a) The name of the teacher education program the teacher attended and completed or the name of the institution from which the teacher obtained a bachelor's degree.

(b) The term or semester and year in which the teacher completed the teacher education program or obtained a bachelor's degree.

(3)(a) If the student information system is established under sub.

(b) Beginning in the 2015-16 school year, the state superintendent shall ensure that every charter school established under s. 118.40(2r) or (2x) and every private school participating in a parental choice program under s. 118.60 or 119.23 is either using the system under sub. (1) or is using a system that is commercially available and able to obtain pupil identification numbers under sub. (5).

(c) If the student information system is established under sub. (1), the state superintendent may promulgate rules authorizing the department to charge a fee to any person that uses the system. All fees shall be credited to the appropriation account under s. 20.255(1)(he).
