Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDThe Department of Education must select two school districts to run a summer reading program starting in 2026-2027. The program must last at least six weeks and focus on foundational first-grade reading skills.
A student is deemed at risk if they scored a Level 1 on the midyear or third administration of the state's coordinated screening. Districts must invite these students to attend the program.
Participating districts must administer the program, provide data to the department, and report on student learning gains and participation rates. The Department of Education must report to the Legislature when the pilot ends.
The law expires automatically upon the submission of the department's final report to the Legislature. This ensures the pilot program does not continue indefinitely without legislative review.
