• KIDS...IT’S THE LAW:  
  Senate Bill 2088​: Establishes an annual state kindergarten readiness assessment in statue, as of the 2021-2022 school year.  The law also establishes an advisory committee to review, on an ongoing basis, the content and design of the assessment, the collective results of the assessment as measured against kindergarten-readiness standards, and other issues involving the assessment as identified by the committee.
  
  
  KIDS will be used to meet this state statute, which means that districts, teachers and the community are already familiar with both the tool and the requirement.​
