Student Recovery After Pandemic: Learning Programs and School Aid.
This act establishes grant programs for schools to help students catch up on learning lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on supporting vulnerable students by offering additional classes, tutoring, and psychological assistance. Parents can expect schools to actively seek out students who have stopped attending and offer them free support programs.
Key points
Schools will receive funds for extended learning programs, such as summer school and extended school days, to help students recover lost learning.
Programs will prioritize students from low-income families, students with disabilities, minority students, English learners, and those who have become disengaged from school.
Schools will be required to actively locate and re-engage students who have been missing from school, involving their families in the process.
The act ensures that programs will be free for students and their families, and schools will provide information about available programs in multiple languages.
The Institute of Education Sciences will study effective interventions for learning recovery and disseminate findings to schools.
