Creates two statewide tutoring initiatives targeting PK-12 students who are in districts or communities with limited capacity or resources to deliver high-quality tutoring programs. The Illinois Tutoring Initiative provides high-impact tutoring to districts statewide through Illinois public Universities and Community Colleges. The district-led high-impact tutoring program provides grants to districts interested in creating and operating their own high-impact tutoring program.

Requires school districts to (1) adopt high quality and consistent instruction materials (2) provide school leaders and teachers professional learning to provide Tier 1 education to students and address student learning needs (3) create balanced assessment system and provide data on learning loss, and (4) reexamine and create support structures to accelerate student learning (ex. high dosage tutoring).

Creates the Colorado high-impact tutoring program to provide grant funding to local education providers including school districts and charter schools and others, to create high-impact tutoring programs to address student learning loss and unfinished learning due to the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Colorado.

Funded through private philanthropy (Gary Community Ventures), provides trained and supervised tutors to work in CO schools in elementary literacy and middle grades math.

Includes funding for the California for All College Corps which provides undergraduate students at 46 colleges and universities across California the opportunity to earn $10,000 for committing to one year of service focused on three key issue areas for the state: K-12 education (tutoring and mentoring), climate action and food insecurity. Plans are for 3,250 students to be deployed in the 2022-23 school year with approximately 50% being tutors or mentors.
