SB 336 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

STUDENTS: Provides for dyslexia screening and subsequent testing and core assessment. (8/1/24) (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)

This bill amends a previous law to clarify how dyslexia screening and testing are conducted for students in public schools. By correcting a specific reference in the text, the legislation ensures that the rules for identifying learning disabilities are applied consistently to the correct category of educational assessments. The change does not introduce new requirements but rather fixes a procedural detail to maintain clarity in existing regulations. Ultimately, the bill affects school districts and educators by refining the legal language governing student evaluations.
