Introducting Oregon Senate Bill 612!

I received a happy announcement from Decoding Dyslexia Oregon, that they got enough signatures and we now have a new bill for the Legislature!  Oregon Senate Bill 612 (SB 612) in summary: 

• Requires school districts to screen students for risk factors for dyslexia and to ensure specified staff members receive training related to dyslexia. 
• Directs Department of Education to designate dyslexia specialist. 
• Requires teacher education institutions and teacher education programs to provide coursework on dyslexia.
