Section 28A.630.125. Summer knowledge improvement pilot program.

(1) Subject to funds being appropriated for this specific purpose, the summer knowledge improvement pilot program is created to provide state funding for an additional twenty student learning days for three consecutive school years in selected schools for students to receive academic instruction outside of the school year established for other schools in the school district.

(2) If appropriated, state funding for each school in the pilot program shall be equal to twenty days of the average daily per student amount of all basic education and nonbasic education funding provided by the state to the school for the regular one hundred eighty-day school year, including for pupil transportation. Nonstate-provided funds may also be used to support the pilot program.

(3) The purpose of the pilot program is to implement an extended school year to combat summer learning loss and provide an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of an extended school year in improving student achievement, closing the educational opportunity gap, and providing successful models for other districts to follow.
