HB 26-1050

House Bill 26-1050 changes Colorado's requirement for local education providers to create individualized readiness plans for preschool and kindergarten students who score proficient on certain assessments. Under the new law, these plans are optional if a student meets specific proficiency criteria in school readiness and reading tests. If a provider chooses not to provide a plan, they must notify parents that they can request one for their child. The bill has been signed into law, meaning local education providers now have this option regarding individualized readiness plans.
