Allows a school district to provide a summer reading and math camp to all grade 3 students scoring at the lowest achievement level on the grade 3 statewide assessment and to establish at each school, where applicable, an intensive acceleration class for any student retained in grade 3 who was previously retained in kindergarten, grade one, or grade 2. Allows each school district and charter school to establish an extended-time literacy and math intervention program for students in kindergarten through grade 3 who score basic or below basic on a reading and math screening assessment.
