Expanding Access to High-Impact Tutoring for K-12 Students

This act aims to improve academic achievement for elementary and secondary school students by funding tutoring programs. Citizens can expect increased availability of high-quality educational support for their children, especially in areas most affected by academic decline since COVID-19. These programs will be overseen and evaluated to ensure their effectiveness.
Key points
Tutoring Access: Elementary and secondary school students will gain access to tutoring programs in math and reading, for at least 30 minutes per school day, 3 days per week.
Financial Support: State and local educational agencies will receive grants to implement, administer, and evaluate tutoring programs.
Tutor Qualifications: Tutoring will be provided by compensated licensed teachers, paraprofessionals, or volunteers, with a small student-to-tutor ratio (maximum 3 students per tutor).
Oversight and Quality: An Advisory Board will be established to oversee program quality, provide training for tutors, and evaluate the effectiveness of the support.
Priority for Needy Students: Programs will prioritize schools with a high number of eligible students and those that have experienced the greatest academic decline.
Workforce Development: The act includes provisions for developing a nationwide tutoring workforce, including recruiting and training additional teachers, paraprofessionals, and volunteers.
