Summary
The bill changes state law so school districts must provide approved evidence‑based professional development on reading to designated teachers and staff by July 1, 2026, and to additional teachers by July 1, 2027. It also allows districts to reduce elementary instructional time by 5.5 hours in the 2024‑25 and 2025‑26 school years if they arrange the required training on a day when other students are in class. The goal is to boost early reading outcomes under the Read Act.
