OK HB2783

Amends Oklahoma's Reading Sufficiency Act to require kindergarten through third-grade students be assessed at the beginning and end of each school year using State Board of Education-approved screening instruments measuring phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension

Students in first, second, or third grade found not reading at grade level must receive individualized remediation developed by a Student Reading Proficiency Team composed of the parent/guardian, current reading teacher, next grade level teacher, and a certified reading specialist if available

Third-grade students who do not demonstrate reading proficiency and are not eligible for good-cause exemptions or probationary promotion shall be retained and provided individualized interventions including minimum 90 minutes daily of research-based reading instruction

Extends probationary promotion option through the 2017-2018 school year for students scoring at unsatisfactory or limited knowledge levels on third-grade reading tests, requiring unanimous recommendation from the Student Reading Proficiency Team, principal, and superintendent

Expands school district reporting requirements to include data on promoted students' subsequent progress, age, attendance history, mobility history, and special education eligibility determinations, with the State Department of Education required to analyze and publicly report aggregate results
