Maryland Tutoring Corps

Provides $10 million in American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Relief Funds (ESSER III) to launch and scale high-quality, school day tutoring for secondary math that will mitigate long-term learning loss resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. MSDE will award up to $10,000,000 in grants to local education agencies (LEAs) or a group of LEAs who partner with institutions of higher education (IHEs), non-profit partners, or county/city governments to build the systems necessary to establish a permanent statewide tutoring corps inclusive of recruitment, training, and subsequent deployment of tutors to work directly with students who are not proficient in math. Grants include a 2-1 match component designed to increase the program’s investment from $10,000,000 to up to $30,000,000.
