Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1691 amends the Education Code to allow a school district to use a portion of its compensatory education allotment to fund an accelerated reading program for students in kindergarten or first or second grade who have been diagnosed by means of a reading test as being at risk for dyslexia or other reading difficulties or to fund a treatment program for students who have dyslexia or a related disorder. The bill allows a district to use compensatory education funds for such programs in proportion to the percentage of students in those programs who are determined to be at risk of dropping out of school.
