Revise early literacy targeted intervention laws
This bill revises Montana's early literacy intervention laws to expand support for children at risk of not meeting reading and math proficiency standards by the end of third grade. It allows school districts to offer classroom-based, home-based, or Jumpstart programs to eligible children identified through research-based evaluations, while also broadening the definition of scholastic literacy to include mathematics and numeracy. The legislation permits districts to enroll up to one on-target student for every three eligible students in certain intervention programs and requires parental consent for evaluations. Additionally, the bill mandates ongoing collaboration between state education agencies and school districts to collect outcome data and refine intervention strategies for improved effectiveness.
