K-3 reading plan; cash balances

Summary

The bill requires Arizona public school districts and charter schools to adopt a K‑3 reading improvement plan, provide dyslexia training, and use funds from the K‑3 reading support weight for instruction. Districts that score C‑F or have over 10% of third‑graders failing the reading assessment may receive additional funding after state board approval, and districts with large cash reserves can exceed budget limits to address reading gaps. It also creates reporting and oversight requirements for the Department of Education.
