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 within New Jersey's Department of Education to help school districts implement research-based tutoring programs addressing pandemic-related learning loss. School districts applying for grants must submit detailed plans meeting specific criteria: tutoring in small groups (4 or fewer students), provided by the same trained tutor 3+ times weekly during school hours (supplementing, not replacing core instruction), using aligned curricula and data-driven progress monitoring. Districts receiving grants must contribute 25% of the grant amount in matching funds, with the program potentially using federal ARP Act funds for support. The program requires districts to outline student selection, subject focus, tutor recruitment, and outcome measurement methods in their applications, with the commissioner reporting on effectiveness within three years.
