House passes literacy bill with two ‘nays’

The literacy bill that’s had such a rocky path earlier in the session sailed through the House today with just two “no” votes, from Reps. Ron Nate, R-Rexburg, and Heather Scott, R-Blanchard. The measure, HB 526 , carries out a recommendation from the governor’s task force on education to better address students who struggle with learning in kindergarten through the 3 ^rd grade./ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
