Summary
The Azusa Unified School District board voted to adopt an elementary reading‑difficulty screener at its May 13 meeting. The motion passed with four yes votes; one board member was absent.
The Azusa Unified School District Board of Education voted May 13 to adopt the district's Elementary Reading Difficulty Screener.
Board members moved and seconded the item during the meeting; the board clerk called the roll and the measure "passes 4 and 1 being absent," the board secretary announced.
No substantive discussion of the instrument's content or implementation timeline was recorded in the public portion of the meeting. Student board member preference was solicited prior to the vote.
