ESSER-Funded Tutoring Presentation.pdf
Background: During the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) provided in-school tutoring through the Elementary and Secondary School Relief (ESSER) Fund to address learning loss that may have occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tutoring was requested for reading grades K-3 and math grades 9-12.

In-school tutoring vendors were selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Tutoring services were provided in either individual, group, or virtual modalities. Traditional schools in MPS were provided with the opportunity to opt in to tutoring.

This presentation includes a brief overview of the RFP process, types of tutoring, and review the evaluation of the in-school tutoring services provided during the 2023-2024 school year.
The evaluation examined the impact of tutoring on student STAR assessment, attendance, and course outcomes. Additionally, limitations of the evaluation and additional evaluation questions will be discussed.
