This bill proposes an appropriation of one million dollars ($1,000,000) from the general fund to the Early Childhood Education and Care Department for the fiscal year 2026. The funds are designated to provide targeted, supplemental online math and reading support for students in pre-kindergarten through third grade. The initiative aims to facilitate early intervention and enhance foundational literacy and numeracy skills among young learners.

The allocated funding will be utilized to implement online evidence-based instructional programs that are grounded in the science of reading, offer professional development for educators, and supply high-quality learning materials for caregivers. Additionally, any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2026 is set to revert back to the general fund.
