12 school building in each school district the percentage of students who are
13 achieving at or above the appropriate grade level on the reading assessment.
14 In order to maintain the commitment made by the legislature to reading excel-

17 and not less than sixty percent (60%) at or above grade level for first grade;
18 the goal for spring 2005 shall be not less than fifty-five percent (55%) at or

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10999
If you can't see the target you will miss it most of the time.
This legislation simply gives our public schools targets to
"shoot" for as well as setting forth the first true measure of
accountability.
