Math bill would require early screening, interventions and automatic placement into advanced courses for above‑proficient students

House Bill 1634, presented by Representative Teska (Rep. Teska introduced the measure in the Senate hearing), would expand state efforts to improve K–12 mathematics outcomes. The bill proposes three main pillars: statewide early screening for K–2 students to identify those at risk in numeracy; required targeted multi‑tiered supports (MTSS) for K–8 students who are below grade level in math; and automatic placement for middle‑school students who score above proficient on the state math assessment into higher‑level coursework unless the parent opts out.
