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 through the implementation of online evidence-based instructional programs, professional development for educators, and the provision of 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 utilized effectively within the designated timeframe. This appropriation reflects a commitment to improving early childhood education and addressing the critical need for support in foundational academic skills.
