Summary

The legislation obligates large school districts to screen their K‑2 students for dyslexia and requires small districts to use regional education service agencies for the same purpose. Parents may also request a screening for their child, even if the school has not provided one, and the request extends to homeschooled and scholarship‑program students. The state board will distribute funds and adopt rules to support the screenings.
