Bill > HB05248

This bill modifies the existing waiver process for comprehensive reading curriculum model or program requirements by allowing educational authorities to consider additional factors when evaluating waiver applications. Specifically, the bill permits local and regional boards of education to take into account student performance data and any reading curriculum resources they have independently developed when reviewing waiver requests. This change suggests a more flexible approach to evaluating educational reading programs, recognizing that school districts may have unique strategies or data that demonstrate effective reading instruction, even if they do not strictly adhere to the standard comprehensive reading curriculum model. By expanding the criteria for waiver consideration, the bill aims to provide school boards with more discretion in assessing the effectiveness of their reading programs based on local context and student outcomes.
