Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to study how tutoring programs are currently used in schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity, which serve children of military families. The study will examine whether existing tutoring programs meet standards for high-impact tutoring, such as math or reading instruction lasting at least 30 minutes per session, at least 3 days per week, taught by licensed educators with small student-to-tutor ratios of no more than 3-to-1. The bill also requires the study to explore ways to increase student participation in quality tutoring programs without reducing funding for other school operations or teacher compensation, and to identify strategies for developing a licensed tutoring workforce. The Secretary of Defense must submit the completed study results to Congress by September 30, 2025. No specific funding amounts are specified in the legislation, which focuses on gathering information to inform future decisions about tutoring support for military-connected children.
