Overview

RULE:

6A-6.0531

Reading Achievement Initiative for Scholastic Excellence (RAISE)

PURPOSE:

The Department is expanding programmatic opportunities within the RAISE High School Tutoring Program based on changes included in SB 46 (Chapter No. 2024-46, Laws of Florida). The expansion includes: tutoring may occur during or after school; school districts participating in the tutoring program may provide a stipend to instructional personnel and high school students serving as tutors for after-school tutoring; and unpaid tutoring hours completed by eligible high school tutors may be counted toward community service hours for graduation and community service requirements for participation in the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. Additional technical changes will be made to increase clarity and remove outdated language.

SUMMARY:

The RAISE High School Tutoring Program was established for eligible high school students to provide tutoring to students in grades K-3 at RAISE identified schools. The expansion of tutoring opportunities within the rule will provide additional learning opportunities for students who attend RAISE identified schools in order to increase student literacy achievement.
