Annual Report on Dyslexia and House Resolution 261. R.S. 17:392 and HR 261 (2023)
Louisiana Department of Education
Act 419 of the 2021 Louisiana Legislative Session requires each public school governing authority to submit a report to the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) annually relative to the occurrence of dyslexia. Act 622 of the 2022 Louisiana Legislature updated the due date of the report to December 15 to better align with reporting cycles. The report shall include numbers of students of all grade levels identified as dyslexic, pursuant to the provisions of either R.S. 17:392.1 or R.S. 17:2112, and shall include, per grade, all of the following: (1) For students identified as dyslexic through a Section 504 Plan: (a) The number initially identified during the preceding school year; and (b) The total number; and (2) For students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) identified as having a specific learning disability, dyslexia: (a) The number initially identified during the preceding school year; and (b) The total number. If the number of students in a grade level identified as dyslexic is not zero and not more than ten, the report shall not indicate an exact number but shall indicate that there are fewer than eleven students in the grade identified as dyslexic and is displayed as 11 on the graph. Annually on March 1, the LDOE must submit a report compiling the data that has been collected from school systems to include the number of students statewide reported as dyslexic. House Resolution 261 of the 2023 Regular Session requests that the LDOE address the screening and identification of students with respect to dyslexia and submit a report to the House Committee on Education and the Louisiana Literacy Advisory Commission by 30 days prior to the 2024 Regular Session. The report includes information regarding the analysis of the identification of dyslexia and potential steps for continued improvement.
