Bill > HB05249

This bill proposes to modify an existing state statute (section 10-14hh) to provide an exemption from the state-mandated reading curriculum requirements for local or regional school boards whose students have demonstrated high performance. Specifically, the bill would allow school districts to be exempt from the standard reading curriculum model or program if their students in the relevant grade levels have met or exceeded the established reading benchmarks. This means that well-performing school districts would have more flexibility in their reading instruction, potentially allowing them to develop or maintain their own successful reading programs without being constrained by a one-size-fits-all state curriculum approach. The purpose of the bill is to recognize and reward school districts that are already achieving strong reading outcomes by giving them more autonomy in their educational strategies.
