Students in struggling schools would get more high-quality tutoring through new federal grants.

This bill would create a new federal grant program. It would help schools that struggle to keep teachers or have many students with high needs. These grants would pay for high-quality tutoring programs, aiming to boost student learning. Tutors could also earn national service educational awards.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific federal grant program to fund partnerships that bring high-quality tutoring to schools that are hard to staff or have many students with high needs. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would set aside $500,000,000 to create a grant program, allowing local groups to offer tutoring, and tutors could earn national service educational awards.
