repealing the reading recovery training program.
HB 1529 repeals the reading recovery training program, a state-established initiative that provided professional development for educators on reading recovery methods. The bill removes RSA 186:70, the statute creating the program, ending its legal basis. This action discontinues the state's administration and funding of the training, which previously supported school staff in improving reading instruction. As a result, New Hampshire school districts and educators will no longer have access to this specific training program.
