Bill > HB05250

This bill proposes to modify an existing statute (section 10-14hh) to make certain reading curriculum models or programs optional rather than mandatory for local boards of education. Currently, boards of education are required to implement specific reading curriculum approaches, but this legislation would give school districts the discretion to choose whether or not to adopt these particular reading programs. By changing the language from mandatory to permissive, the bill allows local educational authorities more flexibility in determining their reading instruction strategies, potentially enabling them to select curriculum models that they believe best suit their student population, available resources, and educational goals. The bill does not eliminate the reading curriculum models entirely, but rather removes the requirement that boards must implement them, giving local school districts more autonomy in their educational decision-making.
