Introduced
by
To allocate $1.0 million from the State School Aid Fund for 50 grants of $20,000 each to school districts to create a five-year pilot program to develop an “early learning success model” program for grades K-3. This would include instruction for teachers and support staff on how to monitor individual student learning and provide extra help to pupils as early as possible in order to reduce the need for special education placement. The funding would replace money otherwise directed to reduce class sizes.
