The 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 allocated funds are intended to provide targeted, supplemental online math and reading support for students in pre-kindergarten through third grade. This initiative aims to facilitate early intervention and enhance foundational literacy and numeracy skills among young learners. The funding will be utilized to implement online evidence-based instructional programs, offer professional development for educators, and supply high-quality learning materials for caregivers.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2026 shall revert to the general fund, ensuring that funds are managed responsibly and efficiently. This appropriation reflects a commitment to improving early childhood education and addressing the critical need for effective literacy and numeracy support in the early stages of education.
