Bill > HB2811

This bill appropriates $2 million from the state general fund in fiscal year 2025-2026 to Arizona's Department of Education to award a grant to a specific type of nonprofit organization for providing student success coaches in public schools. To be eligible for the grant, the nonprofit must have at least 30 years of experience in youth development activities. The student success coaches will focus on helping students develop academic, workforce, and interpersonal skills. The bill includes a special provision that exempts this appropriation from the standard state rule (section 35-190) that would normally cause unused funds to lapse or be returned at the end of the fiscal year, which means the funds can be carried over and used beyond the typical timeframe. This appropriation represents a targeted investment in supporting students' holistic development by providing coaching that goes beyond traditional academic instruction and aims to prepare students for future professional and personal success.
