New Mexico has received a total of $1.5 billion in pandemic-relief education funding and the state must set aside $176 million of that money to address unfinished learning. The state has committed $22 million dollars to support districts in the development of targeted, intensive tutoring programs and an additional $40 million to a teacher- pipeline program that will provide tutors in participating districts.

Initiative is centered around seven “high-leverage strategies” and LEAs must select two strategies–based on their needs that they will implement utilizing the grant award. One of the high-leverage strategies includes “High-Quality School Day Tutoring.” LEAs can use grant funds to implement and improve high-quality tutoring at their sites.
