What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to develop or adopt

a screening device to identify pupils in grades kindergarten to five who are at risk

of reading failure due to deficits in phonemic awareness or rapid naming. Beginning

in the 2011-12 school year, unless a pupil's parent objects, annually each school

board operating elementary grades must use the screening device to screen each

pupil enrolled in the school district in grades kindergarten to two and each pupil

enrolled in grades three to five who scored in the lowest 40 percent of all pupils in

the state on the statewide standardized examinations. Results of the screen must

be provided to the parent of each pupil screened within 90 days of the commencement

of fall classes each year.
