Provide requirements for dyslexia screening and limit advancement to grade four under the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act

Summary

The proposal would have school districts give approved reading assessments three times each year to all kindergarten through third‑grade students, flag anyone scoring below a state‑set threshold as having a reading deficiency, and keep those students in third grade until they reach the benchmark. It also directs school boards to adopt policies for reading instruction, including support for dyslexia, and outlines the state education department’s role in approving the assessments.
