Reading growth for kindergarten to second grade students slowed last year. A literacy lawsuit settlement had previously funded academic interventionists and after-school tutoring, leading to improvements in reading scores for early learners. However, growth stalled in the following school year.

Administrators have reflected on the situation, suggesting that more individualized interventions could have helped students closer to reaching grade level in reading. Superintendent Nikolai Vitti discussed this at a board committee meeting.
