Add the following new paragraph of proviso as the first paragraph of
proviso following Specific Appropriation 131A on page 28:
From the funds in Specific Appropriation 131A, $10,000,000 is provided
to implement a statewide K-3 reading initiative that will help ensure
all students can read at or above grade level in the fourth grade.
Sufficient funds are provided to enable 10,000 teachers to participate
in this intensive reading program. The program implemented shall use a
research proven program to teach reading and provide specific skill
training to teachers on how to effectively teach reading. Teachers must
be trained to provide instruction for struggling students, how to
fine-tune and adjust reading programs already in place, implement a
systemic awareness and phonics component in an elementary school and
strategies to consistently connect writing and reading instruction in an
elementary school. Teachers will also learn how to diagnose and
remediate specific reading skill deficiencies. For a school to be
eligible to participate in this program at least 55 percent of a
school's students must have scored at level 2 or below on the 4th grade
FCAT reading test during the 2000-2001 school year. In addition, at
least 80 percent of the K-3 classroom teachers must agree to attend and
participate in a 10-day professional development program during the
summer. The Department of Education shall issue a request for proposals
to seek an entity to administer and implement this statewide reading
program. This entity will be the hub responsible for coordinating the
statewide implementation of all aspects of this program. The selected
entity may contract portions of the program administration to regional
consortia or other organizations to assist with the implementation of
this program . The proposal shall identify partnerships with entities
providing research and support to public schools, especially rural and
high poverty schools, that will be used to enhance the implementation of
this program. The Department of Education shall issue a request for
995001 Log:0021 MAA/BGM 03/21/01 06:20:07 PM Senate Page: 3
proposals for the program by August 1, 2001 and shall enter into an
agreement with the successful bidder no later than October 15, 2001.
Funds appropriated may be used for training curriculum development,
training faculty, compensating summer training faculty, training
material, and follow-up assessment and support. Summer training programs
shall be conducted within each participating school district.
