K-12 Literacy Plan-Reading Well by 3rd Grade

As some of you are aware the Minnesota Department of Education has had legislation approve for all districts to create a plan in order to have our students proficient in reading by 3rd grade. Attached is a link to the Statute120B.12: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=120b.12.

Below are some highlights of the plan:
Align interventions with grade level standards
