Idaho school districts and charter schools have written out their ideas for helping their students learn to read. Their priorities vary widely. Some districts want to add teachers to spend time with struggling readers. Other districts emphasize technology or training. The goals also are all over the map. Some districts have ambitious goals to boost reading scores — this year. Other districts’ plans are vague. The State Board of Education is just starting to review these literacy plans, which were due last week. Board staff may ask schools to flesh out their paperwork, but the board doesn’t have veto power. One way or the other, schools will get their share of state money for literacy programs; the money is likely to arrive this month/Kevin Richert, Idaho Education News. More here.
