School districts are required to provide a developmental screening for pre-school age children. This helps schools identify children who may benefit from district or community resources for follow-up diagnosis or treatment.
A new law, effective March 27, 2012, requires districts to share information about vision screenings with parents. It explains the benefits of vision screening and states it is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam.
Rep. Sondra Erickson (R-Princeton) and Sen. David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) sponsor the law.
