EARLY LITERACY ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Board of Public Education created the Early Literacy Advisory Council on September 14, 2023 to provide recommendations to the Board on the requirements in HB 352 to provide targeted interventions to support 3rd grade reading proficiency. In 2025, the Legislature authorized HB 338, which included math and numeracy in the early targeted interventions. The Early Literacy Advisory Council will work to incorporate these new requirements into the already existing early targeted interventions statutes.
