Parents can request optional readiness plans

Colorado school providers can skip an individualized readiness plan when a student meets all readiness standards and kindergarten reading standards. Readiness standards cover thinking, physical health and movement, social and emotional development, language and understanding, literacy, and math. Parents or legal guardians can still request a plan, and the provider must supply one. Providers skipping a plan must send written notice with assessment results, an explanation, and information about parents’ right to request one. Kindergarten students must receive a reading assessment within the school year’s first 90 days. Testing within the first 60 days removes the need for the readiness assessment’s separate literacy component. The law starts at 12:01 a.m. the day after the 90-day period following final adjournment. That means August 12, 2026, if final adjournment is May 13, 2026. If a referendum petition is filed, the law takes effect only after approval at the November 2026 general election, on the governor’s official declaration date.
