Summary

The bill directs the State Board of Education to form an expert panel that will approve a list of evidence‑based, culturally and linguistically appropriate math screening tools for early‑grade pupils. Local school districts, county offices of education and charter schools must adopt a tool from that list, screen all K‑1‑2 students (unless parents opt out), give families the results, and report aggregate data to the state. The aim is early identification of math struggles so that timely support can be provided.
