Indiana Gov. Holcomb signs elementary literacy bill into law
Fox News
Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed 67 bills Monday, including one strengthening literacy test standards for the state's grade schoolers.
Among the legislation Holcomb signed was a major item on literacy that was sought by Republicans in both chambers of the General Assembly and the governor's office. Senate Enrolled Act 1 will hold back thousands more third-graders who don't pass the state reading exam as a proposed solution to the state's long declining literacy rates.
The law includes some exceptions and establishes several early intervention processes. For example, all second-graders will be required to take the test to gauge their reading abilities.
