Starting in July 2026, the State Board of Education must direct additional funding for literacy coaching to school districts and charter schools whose students score below the statewide average on the benchmark reading assessment, with larger amounts going to very small districts or schools where students are falling the furthest behind. The funding is sized to cover either half or a full literacy coach position, depending on the severity of the performance gap and the size of the school.
