The program is limited to tutors, before or after school academic programs and pre-kindergarten programs. Expenditures incurred from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, with the following codes will be eligible for matching grant funds:

If the total statewide expenditures exceed the amount of funding allocated
by law, funding awards will be calculated on a pro rata matching basis. A
matching percentage will be calculated by dividing the amount of funding
available by the statewide total of allowable expenditures and applying that
percentage to district expense in order to determine the amount of funds
reimbursed to the district.
