Grand Rapids Public School District Local Literacy Plan 2025-2027
The Grand Rapids Public School District's Local Literacy Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy to achieve literacy proficiency for all students, aligning with the Minnesota READ Act goal of every child reading at or above grade level. Key priorities for the 2026-27 school year include building an equitable K-12 literacy system, strengthening Tier 1 instruction, enhancing Tier 2 and 3 literacy supports within its Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, improving data-driven assessment use, and developing sustainable educator capacity through targeted professional learning. The plan details screening tools, evidence-based curricula and interventions, parental involvement, and professional development to ensure high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction and achieve measurable improvements in student reading proficiency.
