Read Act interventions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's Read Act to strengthen reading interventions for students not meeting grade-level literacy by the end of third grade. It requires school districts to create personalized learning plans with parents for these students, including evidence-based instruction and progress monitoring, while prohibiting grade retention solely due to literacy delays. Starting in 2025-2026, districts must use only evidence-based literacy interventions, and by 2026-2027, unlicensed staff providing Tier 2 reading help must work under licensed teachers trained in evidence-based methods. The bill directly affects K-3 students in Minnesota public schools who are struggling with reading, along with their schools and educators.
