MODERATE

The bill was amended to include Senator Cleare as a sponsor and to recommit the bill to the Education Committee for further review. Substantively, the requirements for high-impact tutoring programs were relaxed to allow tutoring before or after school or as an out-of-school alternative, rather than mandating it occur only during the school day. The requirement for tutoring to be incorporated into the school day was also made conditional based on applicability.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding tutoring delivery times was expanded to include out-of-school options, and the procedural scope was updated to reflect committee recommitment.

REQUIREMENT

Tutoring no longer must occur exclusively during the school day; it can now be provided before or after school or as an equivalent out-of-school evidence-based approach.

The mandate for incorporating tutoring into the school day was changed to apply only if applicable to the specific program.

TIMELINE

The bill was recommitted to the Committee on Education following committee discharge and amendment.
