Committee notes Act 47 (2025) requires district to pick a structured reading curriculum by 2027/28
Summary
The committee recorded that state law (Act 47 of 2025) mandates assignment of a structured reading curriculum by the 2027/28 school year and recommended staff present CKLA findings to the full board to meet that timeline.
Committee members recorded that the district is bound by Act 47 of 2025 to assign a structured reading curriculum by the 2027/28 school year. Members said this statute frames the timetable for any decision about expanding CKLA to grades 3–6.
Because J. Andrew Morrow Primary School is committed to CKLA for five more years and the elementary pilot is under way, the committee recommended that staff prepare a full briefing for the full school board that covers the CKLA data, measurement plans for the skills components, and any implications for classrooms and teachers. Superintendent Cummings offered to provide additional materials if the full board requests more detail before voting.
No formal adoption vote was taken at the committee level; the committee decided to refer the adoption discussion to the full board so trustees can weigh curriculum choices ahead of the statutory deadline.
