Trenton, New Jersey – The New Jersey Department of Education today announced approximately $41 million in preliminary grant awards for the implementation of High Impact Tutoring in approximately 240 New Jersey school districts to implement highly effective, evidence-based strategies that promote learning acceleration among students.
High Impact Tutoring is designed to enable school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects, to work with educational service vendors, nonprofit organizations, and colleges and universities to provide tutoring services at scale and provide educational assistance to students. School districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects are also able to utilize existing staff for specific tutoring programs outside of regular classroom instruction.

The bid process requires districts to gain local school board approval, publicize their needs, advertise for 20 days and choose tutoring firms. In addition, tutoring firms will need time to hire and train additional tutors and run security checks. About 340 districts applied for the grants; those requesting more than $32,000 must solicit bids from tutoring companies that can provide the services.
