Board adopts Amplify mClass/DIBELS as district screening tool for reading difficulties
Summary
Trustees voted to adopt Amplify mClass with DIBELS as the district's screening tool for risk of reading difficulties (including dyslexia) to meet a state requirement; board approved the item after staff said the district already holds a contract through 2027-28 and there is no immediate additional cost.
The board voted to approve the district's adoption of Amplify mClass with DIBELS as the screening tool for risk of reading difficulties, including dyslexia, to comply with a state requirement for the 2025-26 school year. The superintendent told trustees the product is one of four state-approved screeners and the district already has an existing contract that extends through 2027-28, so adopting the tool carries no new immediate cost to the district.
Trustees asked whether the screening applies to every student; staff clarified that the law requires screening in kindergarten through grade 2 but the district will administer the screener through later grades at Redwood and Dana Gray where it may identify difficulties. The motion to adopt the screening was approved by roll call (all trustees voted yes).
