EDUCATION-TECH

This bill makes technical adjustments to the Educational Partnership Act, which governs how universities and community colleges partner with local school districts. The primary change involves updating the State Board of Education's authority to accept private funding or resources to support high-impact tutoring programs. These programs allow college students and pre-service teachers to provide academic help in reading and math to K-12 students while receiving academic credit or tuition waivers. The bill also clarifies that these tutoring services must be conducted by qualified individuals assigned to specific school districts under the supervision of district representatives.
