Senators barely OK reading plan
JACKSON – A plan to raise reading requirements for third-graders survived the Mississippi Senate by one vote Wednesday.
Senators voted 25-24 to pass Senate Bill 2157, which would require third-graders to score higher than they have to now on a reading test to advance to fourth grade.
The bill was held over for more debate in the Senate before it moves to the House, which is considering its own proposal.
