Districts should reach out to individual companies for cost information.
This will not be an all-inclusive or exhaustive list. Districts may choose from this list or choose their own evidence-based academic intervention.
The purpose of this list is to provide districts with state-approved, evidence-based academic interventions that can be used to improve student’s deficit
areas with adaptability to a traditional, hybrid, or virtual school model.
