This bill establishes the Office of the Learning Loss Czar within the Executive Branch of the State Government, specifically allocated to the Department of Education but operating independently. The office is tasked with collaborating with the Commissioner of Education to analyze and address learning loss among students, particularly focusing on those from marginalized backgrounds, such as students of color, low-income students, and students with disabilities. Key responsibilities include identifying effective educational products and strategies, creating a resource bank for school districts, providing technical assistance, supporting grant applications, and partnering with higher education institutions for research on learning loss.

The Learning Loss Czar, appointed by the Governor, will serve as the chief executive officer of the office and will be responsible for its administration and organization. The Czar will have the authority to establish administrative subdivisions, appoint staff, and maintain headquarters for the office. The bill emphasizes the importance of addressing student learning loss and aims to create a dedicated entity to lead statewide initiatives in this area. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
