The bill amends the existing law regarding required student report cards in Arkansas. It specifically mandates that each public school district must include a statement on the report card indicating the student's current reading grade level. This addition aims to provide parents and guardians with clearer insights into their child's reading proficiency.
The new legal language inserted into the law specifies that the report card must now contain this information, enhancing the transparency and accountability of educational assessments. This change is intended to support better communication between schools and families regarding student literacy development.
