The funding over five years will support Literacy Mid-South’s “Tutor901: High Impact Tutoring for High Needs Students,” a program that will focus on about 1,500 second-fourth grade students in 18 MSCS elementary schools. The program is aligned with the Department of Education’s definition of “underserved students,” including those living in poverty and performing significantly below grade level. The progress of the effort will be rigorously evaluated to ensure its effectiveness. Congressman Cohen made the following statement: “Reading is fundamental for getting ahead in the modern world. This substantial investment in our elementary school students most in need of assistance will pay dividends in improved life outcomes. I am pleased to see Literacy Mid-South taking this initiative and appreciate the dedicated tutors who will be doing this critically important, inspiring, and fulfilling work.” # # #	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
