Periodic Data Collection: READ Spring Assessments

Overview

The Colorado READ Act requires districts to report specific student, school, and district level data to CDE to determine and report on the important milestones in implementing key provisions of S.B. 19-199. The information provided in these reports is intended to assist the department, the state board of education, the governor, and the public in monitoring the implementation of and identifying the results achieved in implementing the Colorado READ Act.

Districts must annually report the information necessary to determine the prevalence of Significant Reading Deficiencies (SRDs) among students in grades K-3. This data determines the per-pupil funding for districts by dividing the amount of money available by the total number of K-3 students identified as having an SRD in the preceding budget year. Districts must also report whether or not students in grades 4-12 remain on a READ plan.
