Republican caucus backs HB 1832 to boost K–12 reading and math
Summary
Republican leaders said they support House Bill 1832, a measure to improve K–12 reading and math through targeted reading coaches and evidence‑based interventions, calling it a caucus priority to address learning loss.
Members of the Republican caucuses said they support House Bill 1832, a K–12 package focused on improving reading and math outcomes, particularly through structured reading interventions and reading coaches.
When asked directly about HB 1832, panelists described it as evidence‑based and a caucus priority. "This is a targeted investment that will actually help kids," one Republican lawmaker said, adding that the approach focuses on instructional strategies rather than unspecified additional spending.
Sen. Braun said early‑grade reading is critical — "you learn to read by third grade and you'll read to learn after the third grade" — and Republicans called HB 1832 the sort of focused policy investment they want to advance.
The press availability did not record any formal action on HB 1832; speakers said the measure aligns with GOP priorities for improving student outcomes.
