Bill Summary
Current law requires that school districts test the vision of students in kindergarten and the first, second, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth grades. The bill requires that school districts also test the vision of students in pre-kindergarten and updates terminology by replacing the word "sight" with the word "vision".
AI Summary
This bill requires school districts in Colorado to conduct vision tests for all pre-kindergarten students, in addition to the existing requirement for students in kindergarten and certain other grades. The bill also updates the terminology used in the law, replacing the word "sight" with "vision" and making other minor wording changes to ensure clarity and consistency, while maintaining that parents or guardians must be informed of any vision deficiencies found and that the requirement does not apply if a parent or guardian objects on religious or personal grounds.
