Summer Learning: Grants for Open School Libraries and Meals
This new law aims to provide children with access to school libraries and educational activities during the summer, especially those participating in summer meal programs. This will give children the opportunity to develop reading skills and learn, even when schools are closed for vacation. It offers support for families and students who need additional educational resources outside of the regular school year.
Key points
Schools offering summer meals can receive funds to keep libraries open and provide educational activities.
The program focuses on pre-kindergarten through third-grade students who are struggling with reading or are at risk of doing so.
Access to books and learning activities in the summer can help children maintain and improve reading skills, preventing "summer slide" in learning.
