| CO | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12
Postsec. | Allows districts and charter schools to administer to 9th-12th-grade students the basic skills placement or assessment tests that are used for first-time college freshmen. Districts can administer the test as often as necessary, but the state education department will offset the costs for administrating each exam only once per student. Districts that administer the tests will inlcude the results and college/workforce readiness level in students' individual career and academic plan (ICAP). Intervention plans will be developed for students with scores that indicate a lack of readiness to help prepare them for postsecondary education without the need for remediation. If appropriate, students can enroll in one or more basic skills courses at a higher education institution through the state's concurrent/dual enrollment program.

| FL | Signed into law 04/2012 | P-12 | For the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years, requires each district with one or more of the 100 lowest-performing elementary schools based on the state reading assessment to use specified funds to provide intensive reading instruction during an additional hour of instruction beyond the normal school day each day of the school year. Specifies this hour of instruction may only be provided by teachers or reading specialists who are effective in teaching reading. Makes participation in additional hour of reading instruction optional for students who have level 5 assessment scores. Specifies criteria that additional reading instruction must meet.
Additionally amends provisions related to broader allocation of funds for research-based reading instruction. Previous policy permitted funds to be allocated to provide reading coaches, summer reading camps, intensive interventions for middle and high school students, and other purposes. New amendment includes the aforementioned additional hour a day in 100 lowest-performing elementary schools as another permitted allocation, as well as K-5 reading intervention teachers during the school day. Specifies that reading coaches are intended to support teachers in making instructional decisions based on student data and improve teacher delivery of effective reading instruction, intervention, and reading in the content areas. Specifies that summer reading camps are to be provided to all K-2 students demonstrating a reading deficiency, and to students in grades 3-5 scoring at Level 1 on FCAT Reading. Expands "intensive interventions" to make all K-12 students identified by FCAT as having a reading deficiency or reading below grade level. Existing provision required districts receiving reading funds to adopt and implement a district plan. New amendment directs the department to monitor implementation of each district plan, including conducting site visits and collecting specified data, and to report its findings annually to the legislature.

Directs the state board to promulgate administrative regulations for districtwide use of a response-to-intervention system for K-3 students, to provide general, compensatory and special education students interventions aligned with scientifically based research. Requires all districts to implement RTI systems for reading and writing by August 1, 2013; math by August 1, 2014; and behavior by August 1, 2015. Directs the department to make technical assistance and training available to all districts in the implementation of the system, and identifies the professional knowledge and skills the technical assistance must be designed to improve. Also directs the department to develop a Web-based resource for teachers that includes among other features instructional tools, based on scientifically based research, to assist students in reading, writing, math and behavior. Encourages the department to coordinate technical assistance and training with state postsecondary institutions, and requires the department to collaborate with specified entities to ensure teachers are prepared to utilize scientifically based interventions in reading, writing, math and behavior. Requires conformity with 20 U.S.C. sec. 1414(a)(1)(E) for initial evaluations of students with suspected disabilities. Directs the department to report annually beginning November 30, 2013 on implementation of the system. Pages 1-4 of 9: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/12RS/HB69/bill.doc

| KY | Signed into law 04/2012 | P-12 | Section 3: Directs the department of education, by January 2013, to communicate to all districts the minimum core content standards for postsecondary education introductory courses and career-readiness standards. Before the start of the 2013-14 school year, directs the department to assist districts in analyzing assessment data to identify students who are academically behind, who have higher than normal absentee rates, or who have a record of discipline problems at the end of any of grades 6, 8, 9, 10, or 11. Requires the department to develop enhanced courses in English, reading, and math for students in grades 6 or 9-12 for students who are academically behind to help them meet the college and career-readiness standards.
