Use federal education funding to support tutoring for high-need students
Liccardo proposes using existing federal programs to help schools continue tutoring for students who need academic support, especially children from low-income families. Congress could condition Hawkins Fund grants on using college students trained at historically Black colleges and other diverse universities as tutors, and could encourage teacher apprenticeships to include small-group tutoring instead of static observation. He also suggests allowing more federal work-study students to tutor nearby high-need children.
Context: The passage offers options for redirecting or conditioning existing funding; it does not specify a new funding amount or require districts to adopt them.

Congress could, for example, include conditions that would incentivize districts
