MODERATE
The bill was amended to add several new sponsors and formally track its legislative progress through committee review. Substantive changes to the high-impact tutoring program requirements were made to increase flexibility, allowing tutoring to occur before or after school or via other evidence-based approaches, and permitting schools to omit specific program elements if they provide a valid reason. The requirement for in-school tutoring was also adjusted to apply only when applicable to a specific school's schedule.
