STATEHOUSE (April 9, 2025) – "This amendment was proposed due to Union School Corporation's continuously low reading proficiency and state assessment scores, which are some of the lowest in the state – 44.2% passed the IREAD in 2024, only 3.7% tested proficient in Mathematics and English Language Arts in the ILEARN, and 29.62% tested proficient on English and Math in the SAT exam.
"These problems are not a new development, and this language was brought forward to help initiate the discussion on how to ensure these students are receiving the best education possible."
