of the funds.
This bill reduces a portion of the original appropriation from the Children's Programs Division in the Public
School Support Program and provides an appropriation to the following agencies: 1) Office of the State Board
of Education (OSBE) to replace the current school data system, create a dyslexia handbook, and summer
learning programs; 2) STEM Action Center to provide summer learning STEM programs; and 3) Commission
for Libraries to provide summer library reading programs.
