District Literacy Plan
To support every child reading at or above grade level every year, beginning in kindergarten, and to support
multilingual learners and students receiving special education services in achieving their individualized reading
goals in order to meet grade level proficiency, a school district or charter school must adopt a local literacy plan
that describes how they are working to meet that goal.
A district must update and submit the plan to the commissioner by June 15 each year Minn. Stat.120B.12, subd. 4a (2023). With the purpose of assisting districts and charter schools, the Department of Education has developed this Local Literacy Plan template. Districts and charter schools may utilize this format, or an alternative format developed by the district or charter school.
The Local Literacy Plan must be approved by the Superintendent and posted to the district or charter school’s
website annually.
