| relating to the provision of accelerated and supplemental | ||
| instruction for public school students and outcomes-based | ||
| contracting with those providers. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 28.0211, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| adding Subsections (a-15) and (a-16) to read as follows: | ||
| (a-15) The agency shall approve high impact tutoring | ||
| providers for purposes of providing accelerated or supplemental | ||
| instruction under this section. In approving a provider, the | ||
| agency shall consider: | ||
| (1) whether the provider provides personalized | ||
| instruction to each student; | ||
| (2) the frequency and consistency of the provider's | ||
| instruction; | ||
| (3) whether the provider employs qualified and | ||
| well-trained tutors; | ||
| (4) whether the provider provides instruction to | ||
| students individually or in groups of no more than four students per | ||
| tutor; and | ||
| (5) whether the provider uses data-driven and | ||
| research-based best practices. | ||
| (a-16) In contracting with a high impact tutoring provider | ||
| approved by the agency under Subsection (a-15), a school district | ||
| shall use an outcomes-based contract. The agency shall develop and | ||
| post on the agency's Internet website a template that districts may | ||
| use in contracting with a provider under this subsection. The | ||
| template must: | ||
| (1) provide for a significant portion of the | ||
| provider's payment to be contingent on the achievement of specific, | ||
| measurable student outcomes; | ||
| (2) allow the district to prioritize certain student | ||
| outcomes; | ||
| (3) align the incentives for the district and the | ||
| provider; | ||
| (4) minimize financial risk for the district; | ||
| (5) ensure that the provider is held accountable for | ||
| delivering the specific, measurable student outcomes outlined in | ||
| the contract; and | ||
| (6) establish a framework for shared accountability | ||
| between the district and the provider. | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 28.0211(a-16), Education Code, as added | ||
| by this Act, applies only to a contract entered into on or after the | ||
| effective date of this Act. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025. | ||
