Relative to literacy.
Senate Resolution 95 is a non-binding statement that formally recognizes the importance of literacy in California and calls for schools to adopt curricula based on the science of reading. The resolution urges educational institutions to identify students who struggle with reading and provide them with remediation or referrals to support services. It also encourages collaboration among schools, community groups, and businesses to improve literacy rates and allocates no specific funding or mandates. Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it expresses the Senate's position without creating new laws or changing state statutes.
