Bill Summary
Reinserts the contents of the introduced bill with the following changes. In the definition of "universal screener", changes references to "an assessment" to "a screener". Provides that the "universal screener" shall screen for the risk factors of reading difficulties, including dyslexia (instead of the risk factors of dyslexia). Provides that students shall be screened if a student from another state enrolls for the first time in any of grades kindergarten through 2 in a school district in this State, provided that if a student's score is below 3.0 on either the listening or the speaking portion of the ACCESS for ELLs assessment, the student may be exempt from a universal screener as determined by the school's or school district's English language learner team (instead of unless the student, the student's parent, or the student's guardian presents documentation that the student meets specified conditions). Adds provisions concerning secondary review of a student. In provisions concerning the student's parent or guardian consent to screening, provides that the parent or guardian must be notified (rather than specifying provisions concerning the nature of notification). Makes conforming changes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to require the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to develop guidelines for the administration of universal screeners and dyslexia screenings, as well as appropriate instruction within a multi-tiered system of support framework. It mandates that ISBE employ at least 5 dyslexia specialists or therapists to provide technical assistance and training to school districts. The bill also requires school districts to screen students in grades K-2 for risk factors of dyslexia using a universal screener, and if a student is identified as at-risk, the district must administer a dyslexia screening. If the screening indicates the student has characteristics of dyslexia, the district must provide dyslexia intervention services using a structured literacy approach.
