AI Summary
This bill establishes the Oklahoma High Dosage Tutoring Program, which aims to provide intensive reading support for students in prekindergarten through third grade who are at least half a grade level behind in reading. The program will involve in-person tutoring sessions conducted after school hours, with tutors working with small cohorts of up to five students for a minimum of three one-hour sessions per week across ten weeks in the fall and twelve weeks in the spring. School districts will prioritize participation based on federal designations for support, and tutors will be eligible for financial bonuses of $1,600 per cohort per semester and an additional $1,000 for each academic grade level increase in reading. Tutors will be held accountable for student progress, with potential conditional participation or program removal if students do not improve by at least half a grade level within a year. The bill requires parental consent for student participation and establishes a High Dosage Tutoring Revolving Fund to support the program, which can receive funding from gifts, grants, donations, federal funds, and state appropriations. The program is set to become effective on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause allowing immediate implementation to address educational needs.
