Bill Summary

As enacted, requires each local board of education and public charter school governing body to develop and implement a policy to provide, with each K-8 student's report card, the student's score on the universal reading screener if administered to the student in the current school year, and the results of the dyslexia screener most recently administered to the student, if applicable. - Amends TCA Title 49.

AI Summary

This bill requires local school boards and public charter school governing bodies to include specific reading assessment information on student report cards for kindergarten through 8th-grade students. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, these report cards must include the student's most recent scores from two types of screenings: the universal reading screener (mandated by the Tennessee Literacy Success Act) and the dyslexia screener (if applicable). These additional reporting requirements are supplemental to existing home literacy reports and do not replace current notice requirements about student reading performance. The purpose appears to be to provide parents with more transparent and detailed information about their child's reading skills and potential learning challenges, helping them better understand and support their child's literacy development.
