The bill aims to revise the Early Literacy Targeted Intervention Program by expanding its scope to include scholastic literacy, which encompasses both reading and mathematics proficiency. It allows school districts to opt in to enroll one on-target student for every five eligible students in classroom-based or jumpstart interventions, a change from the previous ratio of one for every three students. Additionally, on-target students enrolled in these programs can be counted for Average Number Belonging (ANB) purposes, which impacts funding calculations.

Key amendments include the introduction of "early scholastic literacy" as a term, the requirement for school districts to provide various intervention programs (classroom-based, home-based, and jumpstart), and the establishment of evaluation methodologies to assess children's literacy and math proficiency. The bill mandates annual reporting on the efficacy of these interventions and emphasizes the importance of collaboration among educational authorities to enhance student outcomes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and will apply to students enrolled in the program starting May 1, 2025.
