Establishes High Efficiency Accelerated Learning Grant Program.
This bill creates a state grant program to fund high-impact tutoring for New Jersey students. It directly affects public school districts, charter schools, and approved tutoring providers (nonprofits or school-administered programs) by requiring them to partner with the Department of Education to offer tutoring meeting specific criteria. Key provisions include: the Department must establish a list of qualified tutoring providers, fund competitive grants for programs that use research-based methods, track student progress via diagnostic assessments aligned with state standards, and require annual program evaluations. The program prioritizes tutoring during school hours and aims to support students needing academic help, with grants allocated based on program quality, student impact, and cost-effectiveness. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Education Committee.
