Academic growth reporting requirements for state assessments modified.

This bill updates Minnesota's education laws to require more detailed reporting on student reading progress and modifies how state assessments are structured. It directly affects school districts, students in kindergarten through grade 12, and their families by mandating specific screening and data collection practices. Under the new rules, schools must screen all young students three times a year for foundational reading skills and dyslexia characteristics, while also tracking growth data for older students who are not reading at grade level. Additionally, the bill requires districts to include specific literacy data in their annual plans and adjusts state testing requirements to include multiple-choice questions for subjects other than writing. These changes aim to provide clearer information on individual student performance and academic growth across the state.
