Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 2nd edition:

Amends the items that must be included in the annual report on teacher attrition data, deleting language found in GS 115C-12(22)(e) and (f) and adding new language that requires the reporting of the number of hard-to-staff schools. Provides that a hard-to-staff school is any school identified as low-performing, as provided in GS 115C-105.37. Also requires the reporting of the number of positions in hard-to-staff subject areas. Hard-to-staff subject areas are subject areas that either (1) are as defined by the United States Department of Education or (2) have resulted in a long-term vacancy of 16 months or more at a particular school in a local school administrative unit. 

Amends the effective date clause to provide that the law applies beginning with the annual report compiled in 2017 using data from the 2016-17 school year.
