The recent disruption to the school board proceedings, and the teachers' materials not being fully delivered before the training of the new ELA curriculum, demonstrate the importance of having someone in charge of Early Reading.

There should be a partner role within OEA. But at the least, OUSD needs to have this role. We will be engaging the board members about this in the days and weeks ahead.
