Impact

If enacted, this bill could significantly impact educational policies at both state and local levels. By requiring the development of a supportive framework for struggling students, it emphasizes the importance of personalized education approaches post-pandemic. It acknowledges that many students may have faced unique challenges during the pandemic that hindered their ability to engage and succeed academically, and aims to create mechanisms to support their learning recovery.

Summary

House Bill 05769 aims to address the learning loss experienced by students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill mandates the Department of Education to develop a targeted program that identifies students whose attendance and participation fell during the 2020-2021 academic year. The primary goal of the bill is to ensure that these students receive the necessary individualized support to help them catch up and achieve a high-quality education.
