A 331 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes matching grant program in DOE for school districts to implement high-impact tutoring programs addressing learning loss due to COVID-19 pandemic.

This bill establishes a matching grant program in New Jersey's Department of Education to help school districts address pandemic-related learning loss through high-impact tutoring. School districts applying for grants must submit detailed plans meeting specific requirements, including small group tutoring (four or fewer students), same tutor throughout the year, three sessions weekly during school hours, use of trained tutors with aligned curricula, and data-driven progress monitoring. Districts receiving grants must contribute 25% of the funding amount, and the program may use federal American Rescue Plan funds to supplement state resources. The Department of Education will report on the program's effectiveness within three years, including metrics on student outcomes and recommendations for continuation.
