OSPA's Stance on TGRG Retention Featured on NPR

OSPA Executive Director Rachel Chilton was recently featured in an NPR story regarding legislation (HB 497) to remove the retention requirement under the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. The article uses a soundbite from Rachel's testimony in May before the House Primary & Secondary Education Committee. OSPA's position on the bill is in support of removing the retention requirement. The bill passed out of the House Committee in May.
