This bill establishes a revised Math Learning Communities Program in public secondary schools, aimed at supporting students who struggle with mathematics and need additional assistance to transition successfully from high school to college and careers. The program will be administered through the community college system of New Hampshire in collaboration with public secondary schools, ensuring statewide availability. The new legal language includes the establishment of a program that encourages the implementation of math learning communities, which will provide access to courses designed to help students master Algebra 2 concepts necessary for college admission. Additionally, the program will offer ongoing training and professional development for teachers to better support reluctant learners and those who have not retained prior mathematical knowledge.

The bill also mandates that the community college system of New Hampshire submit an annual report to the department of education and relevant legislative committees, detailing the participating high schools, student enrollment numbers, and data on student achievement and growth. The existing law, RSA 193-I, is repealed and reenacted to incorporate these changes, with the effective date set for July 1, 2025.
