Bill Summary

For legislation to establish an elementary school literacy grant program. Education.

AI Summary

This bill establishes an elementary school literacy grant program to improve literacy outcomes for both general education and special education populations. The grants will be awarded to districts based on a sliding scale determined by the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and can be used for intensive school-wide literacy coaching and professional development, as well as K-3 literacy interventions for the most at-risk students. Program participants will be required to report their results to the department, which will publish them online, and renewal of the grants will be contingent on the scientifically documented efficacy of the programs.
