High-Impact Tutoring Grant Program
Did You Know?
On March 8, 2023, Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders signed the LEARNS Act into law and includes the Arkansas High-Impact Tutoring Pilot Program. This program provides approximately $20 million in grants to public school districts to implement high-impact tutoring programs in schools.
Eligible expenses in the Arkansas High-Impact Tutoring Pilot include, but are not limited to, hiring tutors, costs related to technology enabled tutoring, expenses related to improving the effectiveness of tutoring, and contracts with approved tutoring providers.
We are excited to announce that K12 Tutoring has been selected as a qualified, approved vendor again for the 24-25 school year. All funds in the grant must be spent before the end of the school year. Let us be your trusted advisor in navigating the LEARNS Act additional $20M grant successfully.

Over 850 Pulaski students in grades 3-8 completed approximately 4,000 sessions over a four-month period this school year.
Pulaski County’s collaboration with K12 Tutoring to recover lost learning sparked a transformation: from 40 to 80 in benchmark scores.
