Bill > SB00037

This bill seeks to repeal section 10-14hh of the state's general statutes, which would effectively remove a requirement for the Department of Education to mandate specific reading curriculum models or programs for school districts in the state. By eliminating this section of law, the bill aims to give local school districts more flexibility in choosing their reading instruction approaches, allowing them to select curriculum models that they believe best suit their students' needs rather than being required to follow a state-prescribed program. The bill's primary purpose is to shift decision-making power regarding reading curriculum from the state level to individual school districts, potentially enabling more localized and potentially more responsive educational strategies. This proposed change reflects a broader policy approach of reducing state-level mandates in educational programming and increasing local autonomy in curriculum selection.
