Utah SB0274 provides supplemental funding for literacy coaching based on student performance on benchmark reading assessments.

Utah SB0274 defines "benchmark reading assessment" and provides additional funding for literacy coaching to local education agencies and small schools if their average student performance is below the statewide average. Funding is equivalent to half a full-time employee for most agencies and one full-time employee for agencies with fewer than 300 students demonstrating below typical growth. The state board distributes funding based on the previous year's assessment data.
