Assessments
McBath materially supported the promised policy by leading and sponsoring the House READ Act in August 2026, a federal bill aimed at evidence-based reading instruction and state implementation of science-of-reading practices. However, the measure remains referred to the House Education and Workforce Committee and has not passed or produced implemented state support, so the promise is not fully delivered yet.
