‘Right to Read’ sparks concern
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY
By Jessica Simms Record-Journal staff
After passage of ‘Right to Read’ legislation in 2021, the State Department of Education has approved the implementation of specific reading curricula and programs for kindergarten through third grade by July 1 of this year. However, many districts across the state are opting to submit a waiver to continue to offer their current curricula. “At this point, we have significant concerns about the state basically dictating what program we’ll use to teach students the curriculum,” said Jeff Solan, superintendent of Cheshire Public Schools.
