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 report cards for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, these report cards must include the student's most recent score from the universal reading screener (a standardized test to assess reading skills) and, if applicable, the results of the dyslexia screener. This new requirement is designed to supplement existing home literacy reports and notices about reading assessments. The goal appears to be providing parents with more transparent and detailed information about their child's reading performance and potential learning challenges. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, which covers education regulations, and will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with implementation beginning in the 2025-2026 school year.
