Bill Summary
AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING REQUIRED STUDENT REPORT CARDS; TO REQUIRE A REPORT CARD TO INCLUDE A STUDENT'S CURRENT READING GRADE LEVEL; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
AI Summary
This bill requires public school districts in Arkansas to include a statement of a student's current reading grade level on their report cards. Currently, report cards provide grades and performance information, but this legislation would mandate an additional piece of information that explicitly shows a student's reading proficiency. By adding this requirement, the bill aims to provide parents and students with a clear, standardized indicator of a student's reading skills, which can help identify potential learning challenges or areas needing additional support. The new provision would be added to the existing Arkansas Code § 6-15-903, which governs the content and requirements for school report cards. This transparency could help parents better understand their child's academic progress, particularly in the critical area of reading comprehension, and potentially prompt earlier interventions if a student is reading below their grade level.
