www.FredericksburgParent.NET 23 10,000 Students to Get Free Tutoring in Stafford County Stafford County Public Schools has completed its plan for implementing Gov. Glenn Youngkin's ALL IN VA learning loss recovery. The division expects to receive $10.4 million in one- time funding to provide "high-dosage" tutoring to combat learning loss. Stafford has divided the initially identified students into three priority groups instead of two. The priority one group - stu- dents who scored below the passing grade of 400 on the SOL - will receive 36 weeks of tutoring. The priority two group - students who scored between 400 and 425 and who Stafford considers "lower" proficient - will receive 18 weeks. The priority three group - students who scored between 426 and 488 and who Stafford considers "at risk" - will receive nine weeks of tutoring, according to the division's plan. Tutoring will occur before, during and after school for three- to-five hours per day. The division is targeting a teacher-to- student ratio of 1:5.
