What this document actually says
Reed Union School District is requesting board approval to adopt Amplify mCLASS with DIBELS as the reading difficulties screening tool for all K-2 students, starting in the 2025-26 school year. This screening is required by California Senate Bill 114. The tool will cost $11,536.80 for one year, including licenses for all K-2 students at Reed Elementary, 3rd grade and intervention students at Bel Aire Elementary, plus 15 hours of staff training ($8,950). The district chose this tool after evaluating multiple options and gathering feedback from Grade Level Collaborative teams, who reached 100% consensus. Screenings will begin in September 2025, with families notified at least 15 days in advance. Results will be shared with families within 45 days.
What this means for your family
All K-2 students will be screened for reading difficulties at least once per year starting fall 2025. Parents can opt out in writing. Families will receive screening results within 45 days, along with guidance on next steps. The screening helps identify students who may need extra reading support early, allowing teachers to provide targeted help before difficulties become more serious.
