Horace advocates on Capitol Hill

Horace had the honor of joining legislators and staffers on Capitol Hill on to advocate for expanding access to high-impact tutoring.

​

The first bill, The Expanding Access to High-Impact Tutoring Act, championed by Representatives Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ 11th District) and Nancy Mace (R-SC 1st District), is a bipartisan initiative that aims to create a new grant program with the Department of Education to fund the creation and administration of high-dosage tutoring programs. 

​

The second tutoring bill, The Partnering Aspiring Teachers with High-Need Schools (PATHS) to Tutors Act, has been introduced to the Senate before and is to be reintroduced by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), John Cornyn (R-TX), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Susan Collins (R-ME), is a bipartisan bill that will expand access to one-on-one and small-group tutoring in underserved communities significantly affected by the pandemic. The legislation will also strengthen the pipeline of future teachers by placing teacher candidates into tutoring roles.
