Structured Literacy Pilot Program; authorize Mississippi Dyslexia Institute to establish.

Summary

The bill would let the Institute create a pilot program for up to 80 students identified with dyslexia, offering intensive, evidence‑based reading remediation instead of holding them back in third grade. It requires teacher training, regular progress monitoring, and an annual report, and funds the effort at the per‑pupil cost of a retained student. The aim is to improve reading outcomes and reduce unnecessary grade retention.
