For legislation to improve literacy skills. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve literacy skills in elementary schools by establishing a reimbursement grant program. The key provisions include providing grants to districts for intensive school-wide literacy coaching, professional development, and K-3 literacy interventions for at-risk students. The reimbursements are based on improved literacy outcomes for both general education and special education populations, and the amount is determined by a sliding scale based on the district's percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The program participants are required to report their results to the Department of Education, which will publish the information online.
