Bill > SB278

This bill revises several provisions related to education, focusing primarily on reading assessments and teacher licensure. The bill requires the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to consider ways to improve access to teacher licensure, such as streamlining procedures and simplifying the process for alternative route to licensure programs. It eliminates the use of local assessments in determining reading deficiencies for students in elementary schools, instead relying solely on statewide assessments. The bill removes requirements for school districts and charter schools to prepare and submit annual reports about students receiving reading intervention services. Additionally, it prohibits entities other than the State Board of Education from requiring schools to report information about reading intervention services. For students with reading deficiencies, the bill specifies that they are no longer required to receive intervention services if they achieve a score on the statewide assessment that falls within the level established by the State Board of Education for their grade level. These changes aim to simplify reporting requirements, reduce administrative burdens, and provide more standardized approaches to addressing student reading performance.
