California Learning Acceleration System Grant: Executive Summary of Year 5 Findings
July 24, 2026
The COVID-19 pandemic led to lost instructional time and diminished academic outcomes for California students, particularly those in early grades and the most vulnerable student groups. In response, the governor approved Assembly Bill 130 in 2021. This bill allocated funding to provide professional learning for educators to support evidence-based learning acceleration strategies for all students. The California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) operates the state’s Learning Acceleration System Grant (LASG) program through these funds. In partnership with Education Northwest, SPR co-led a systemwide evaluation of the LASG program from 2022–2026.
