District approves Amira as K–2 reading screener, will add online tutoring
Summary
The Jefferson Elementary School District board approved Amira as its new K–2 reading-difficulty screener and universal benchmark for 2025–26, citing Spanish-language administration and an online tutoring component; trustees asked about cost and whether the tool replaces FastBridge.
The Jefferson Elementary School District board voted unanimously to adopt Amira as the district’s K–2 reading-difficulty screening instrument and universal benchmark, and to use its online tutoring feature for early intervention beginning in the 2025–26 school year. Jessica Pace, the district’s teaching and learning program director, told the board that state guidance under Senate Bill 114 requires an approved screener and that the district’s review narrowed four approved tools to two options before selecting Amira.
