Bill Summary

For legislation to accelerate student success through expanded learning time. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to accelerate student success through expanded learning time. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to establish an "expanded learning time program allotment" within a district's foundation budget, which would provide additional funding for schools that meet certain criteria, such as serving a high percentage of low-income students, providing a minimum number of instructional hours, and offering a mix of core academics and enrichment programming. The bill also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide per-pupil expanded learning time program funding as part of the charter school tuition amount, subject to similar eligibility criteria. The goal is to give schools the resources and flexibility to offer students more time for learning and educational opportunities beyond the traditional school day.
