Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger math teaching and credentials
Starting July 1, 2025, teacher candidates and current early childhood, elementary, and special education teachers must get research‑based math training, and programs must add coursework on key math teaching practices. Special education standards must include elementary math skills. Applicants for alternative or emergency elementary certificates must complete instruction in an approved research‑based math program. The law creates a continuing Statewide Mathematics Revolving Fund; as funds allow, the Regents use it to deliver math training in teacher‑prep programs and to support micro‑credentials for current teachers. Students entering teacher‑prep programs in 2026–27 can earn a math micro‑credential on their certificates after required training. The State Board will offer math PD institutes for K–9 teachers as more funds are available; teachers who complete an approved summer or out‑of‑session institute may receive a stipend equal to substitute‑teacher costs.
Math checks and help for grades 2–5
Starting July 1, 2025, all grade 2–5 students are screened in math at the start, middle, and end of the year. Some students (OAAP participants, sign‑language or Braille users, and recent English learners) may be exempt if schools document progress. If a child is below target, the school must tell parents by the start of the second quarter and, within 30 days, create an individual plan with added in‑school time, progress checks, and free online resources; teachers may also recommend a summer academy after talking with parents. Students who exceed targets must get advanced learning and cannot be removed without a parent’s written consent. Summer academies must last at least three straight days with trained teachers; districts may approve online or private alternatives, but they do not have to pay and must explain any costs. The State Board approves screening tools with data reports starting in 2026–27 and will set rules for summer academies; a provider list is due April 1, 2026.
Dyscalculia screening and reporting
Beginning in 2026–27, any grade 2–5 student still below target after the start‑of‑year math screen must get a dyscalculia screen. Parents, teachers, or counselors can also request a screen; once identified, no re‑screening is required unless a parent asks. By December 31, 2025, the State Board must define dyscalculia, set referral and parent‑notice steps, and publish an approved tool list; screening follows the state dyslexia/dysgraphia handbook. The Department will assign staff to help districts and, as funds allow, will train screeners starting in 2026–27. Each June 30 starting 2026, districts report screening and intervention data; by December 31 each year, the Department posts statewide results. The Board may issue rules to run the program.
Focus schools on core skills
Starting July 1, 2025, every district must focus instruction on strong foundations in math, reading, and writing and connect other subjects to these core skills. All math teachers must build lessons around real‑world problem solving, procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and productive math habits.
Funding and grants to run math support
The law provides $1 million from HB 2766 to launch the Act starting July 1, 2025. When remediation funds are appropriated, districts get an annual per‑student amount equal to total funds divided by the statewide count of identified grade 2–5 students; payments follow State Board approval of a district math plan and a child‑count report. Districts receiving more than $2,500 must spend at least 10% on evidence‑based math training, micro‑credential courses, and required materials. The State Department will publish an approved list of professional‑development programs.
Track access to advanced math
By December 15, 2026 and each year after, the State Board must report how many students are eligible for, placed in, or not placed in advanced math or intervention courses, with demographics and course types. The Board will also guide districts on how to build rigorous math programs and courses so students get appropriate instruction.
