STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28570 / S1114
This bill directs the department of education to spend 20 percent or $2 million which ever is less to a
home-delivered remediation program if over $26 million is spent on K-3 literacy. This protects the base $26
million that already exists in the K-3 literacy program; however, a percentage of any added funds will be
directed to a different approach to remediation to get useful data. It is anticipated that federal funds will be
made available for remediation in FY2022.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill does not require added funding. The bill simply states that if funding is increased a percent must be
used for an in-home delivery model.
