So I. once again. must object to the philosophy underlying the Senators amendment to create another Federal program. While I agree that oneonone mentoring and tutoring is valuable. it will help improve educational achievement of students. such tutoring is already allowable under at least 19 other Federal programs. So I have listed a number of programs in which we have afterschool care provided. There are 19 programs that have tutoring and mentoring components: AmeriCorps. Learn and Serve. VISTA. JUMP. the Juvenile Justice Mentoring Program. CAMP. the Migrant Education Mentoring Program. TRIO. are all examples of existing mentoring and tutoring programs that are out there already. The Senators amendment. in my estimation. would simply duplicate these existing programs.
