| IL | Adopted 01/2008 | P-12 | Strengthen recipient districts' accountability with respect to implementation of the program, chiefly by providing for some quality assurance measures regarding the teachers paid from the state funds provided. Salient among these requirements are following the established curriculum and sequence and planning to teach every day while the program is in session. The latter provision has been found to be critical because the Summer Bridges Program is compressed into a short period of time and each day of instruction is important to students' success.
