I am in favor of this bill and like to share several key points. HB 704 is about making sure no child slips through the cracks. It helps schools identify math and reading struggles early—when kids can still catch up—so families don’t find out years later that their child is behind. It brings strong math teachers into the schools that need them most and ensures students aren’t moved forward without the reading skills they need to succeed. HB 704 puts children first and gives parents confidence that their child is truly ready for the next grade.

I fully support Bill 704. It’s vital that our students master basics skills in reading and bath before moving up to 4th grade.
