The bill amends the existing law regarding student report cards in Arkansas by requiring that each report card includes a statement about the student's current reading grade level. This addition aims to provide parents and guardians with clearer insights into their child's reading proficiency.
Specifically, the bill introduces a new subsection to Arkansas Code 6-15-903, which mandates that public school districts include this information in the report cards they issue to students. This change is intended to enhance communication between schools and families regarding student literacy development.
