READ Data Collection

Overview

The purpose of the READ data collection is to collect data needed to fulfill statutory requirements for the annual legislative report and to determine per-pupil funding for districts by taking the count of students at the end of year who have a significant reading deficiency. Districts submit records of spring assessment data for all K-3^rd grade students enrolled at the time of data submission and 4-12^th grade students who are included in the READ Cohort.
