HB 64-READING PROFICIENCY TASK FORCE; DYSLEXIA
8:44:40 AM
CHAIR STEVENS announced the consideration of HB 64, version J.
He said this is the third hearing on the bill. He talked with
the sponsor about the Alaska Education Challenge (AEC) and how
it applies to the bill. He asked Commissioner Johnson to address
this issue.
8:45:29 AM
MICHAEL JOHNSON, Commissioner, Department of Education and Early
Development (DEED), testified on HB 64. He discussed the AEC and
areas where it would be appropriate to include the topics of HB
64. He pointed out that DEED is also developing the state plan
under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which will include
reading strategies.
CHAIR STEVENS commented that should elements of HB 64 not be
covered in the AEC, the committee would consider HB 64 next
session. He encouraged the people interested in the bill to go
ahead with developing a task force that would complement the
AEC.
8:47:48 AM
CHAIR STEVENS held HB 64 in committee.
