BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WTVF) â A new law will allow school districts to hold back 3
rd graders who arenât proficient in reading for the 2022-2023 school year.
To help more students learn to read, Governor Bill Lee has introduced a new reading program. Deanna Serfass has a 2nd grader who is struggling with reading, and she s not alone. Serfass said, I feel like heâs just getting further and further, and itâs making it harder for him to catch up.
