Spring READ Assessment Reporting

Districts must annually report the information necessary to determine the prevalence of SRDs among students in grades K-3. This data determines the per-pupil funding for districts by dividing the amount of money available by the total number of K-3 students identified has having an SRD in the preceding budget year. District must also report whether or not students in grades 4-12 remain on a READ plan.
