AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to conduct a comprehensive study focused on identifying effective teaching methods specifically for students with dyslexia, a learning disorder characterized by difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, spelling, and decoding. The department is required to complete this study and submit a report to the legislative assembly's education-related interim committees by September 15, 2026. The report may include recommendations for potential future legislation addressing dyslexia education. Notably, the bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the study initiative will be temporary and will not continue indefinitely. The bill aims to improve understanding and support for students with dyslexia by systematically exploring and documenting successful educational strategies.
