PATHS to Tutor Act of 2025

This bill would create a competitive federal grant program, run by the Secretary of Education, for local groups that pair a school district or school with a teacher preparation program to provide tutoring, especially in high-need schools and schools that have trouble keeping teachers. Tutoring would be one-on-one or in small groups of up to four students, held several times a week, and tied to local standards and curriculum, with tutors paid for their work. Grant money could pay for tutor and mentor stipends, training, instructional materials, internet access and devices, student transportation, meals and snacks, and facilities. The bill authorizes $500 million, with at least 85 percent going to direct student support. It also directs the Department of Education to work with the Corporation for National and Community Service so tutors can serve in national service positions and receive education awards.
