• Develop a list of school districts or charter schools in need of support in this area based on student assessment data;
• Offer subgrants to these districts or schools to enable the adoption of high-impact tutoring during the school day in SY 23-24;
• Develop criteria for eligible tutoring models and a list of models that meet this criteria;
• Ease adoption for districts via implementation guidance and other support (e.g., scheduling, statewide professional development, statewide procurement);
