Dallas ISD está preparándose para lanzar las academias de lectura en otoño. Las academias son la respuesta del distrito ante la aprobación del proyecto de ley 3 de la Cámara de Representantes de Texas, la cual exige que los maestros de kínder hasta 3er grado y los directores de escuelas primarias completen una academia de lectura de 10 días antes de terminar el año escolar 2022-2023.
