Brownback targets reading gains in 2013 Kansas agenda
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback pledges a stronger focus on fourth grade reading in his 2013 legislative plan, linking reading scores to childhood poverty and long term readiness. Department of Education data show 64 percent of fourth graders below proficient in 2011 NAEP, with progress cited from early learning efforts like The Opportunity Project in Wichita and public private partnerships, while funding debates and court challenges loom over school finance.
