Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 1263 clarifies how third-grade students who struggle with reading can be promoted or retained based on standardized test results. It specifies that students cannot be held back if their test scores are not available before the start of the next school year, and those students must receive targeted support if their scores later indicate they need help. This change aims to provide more flexibility and support for students while ensuring they get the resources they need to improve their reading skills.
