Richland board picks Amplify mClass DIBELS and Lectura for K–2 screening
Summary
The board approved state‑required screening tools for reading‑difficulty risk (including dyslexia) for kindergarten through second grade and set implementation to begin no later than the 2025–26 school year.
The Richland Governing Board approved Amplify mClass DIBELS and Lectura as the district's screening instruments for identifying risk of reading difficulties in kindergarten through grade two.
Mrs. Sagasta told the board that Education Code Section 53008 requires local educational agencies to adopt a state‑approved screening instrument by June 30, 2025, and to begin implementation no later than the 2025–26 school year. “Implementation of the screening must begin no later than the 2025-2026 school year,” the presentation noted. The board voted to approve the recommended tools and compliance steps.
The district must select a screener from instruments approved by the Reading Difficulties Risk Screener Selection Panel; the board's action authorizes staff to move forward with Amplify mClass DIBELS and Lectura as the selected instruments and to prepare for classroom implementation next school year.
