AI Summary

This bill establishes a matching grant program in the Department of Education (DOE) for school districts to implement high-impact tutoring programs aimed at addressing learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To be eligible, districts must submit an application with a plan that incorporates key elements of a high-impact tutoring program, such as small group sizes, consistent tutors, frequent sessions, and data-driven instruction. The grants will be awarded competitively based on criteria set by the Commissioner of Education, and districts must provide 25% matching funds. The DOE can use federal funds, such as those from the American Rescue Plan Act, to fund the program, and the Commissioner must submit a report on the program's effectiveness within three years.
