Education-retention for reading failure.

Wyoming's SF 117 requires public schools to assess all kindergarten through third-grade students for reading proficiency three times yearly using state-approved tools. Students scoring "below basic" on the grade 3 English language arts assessment must be placed on an individualized reading plan with parental involvement, or face grade retention in third grade. The bill mandates schools to notify parents of reading deficiencies, provide evidence-based interventions, and document progress. It applies directly to K-3 students and their schools in Wyoming public education, with specific requirements for parental notification and intervention planning. The bill also prohibits score modification and outlines procedures for addressing reading deficiencies before retention.
