Funding Pathways in Michigan

Michigan districts often use a combination of federal, state, and local funding sources to support literacy intervention, tutoring, multilingual learner services, MTSS initiatives, and student support programs. Catapult Learning works with district leaders to identify funding pathways, align services to program requirements, and build sustainable support plans that meet local needs.

Catapult Learning partners with districts to make the most of federal funding streams that support academic achievement, educator growth, and equitable access to learning. Our programs align with Title I tutoring and family engagement, Title II professional development, Title III supports for multilingual learners, and Title IV initiatives that promote safe, healthy, and well-rounded school environments.

Section 31a is an important Michigan funding stream for eligible students and can connect to reading, math, attendance, college and career readiness, MTSS, and targeted student support.

Catapult Learning can help districts think through intervention models that support students who need additional academic help while fitting within district MTSS structures.

MDE states that Section 31a funding focuses on outcomes including regular attendance, reading proficiently by the end of third grade, math proficiency by the end of eighth grade, and college and career readiness. MDE also notes that LEAs using Section 31a funds are required to implement a K-12 MTSS framework with fidelity. (Michigan.gov)

Michigan’s literacy priorities continue to evolve through state policy, dyslexia-related requirements, and local district plans. Catapult Learning can help districts review current opportunities and design support that connects to literacy goals, intervention needs, and implementation capacity.

The MDE K-12 Literacy and Dyslexia Law page includes Public Acts 146 and 147 resources, screening and progress monitoring assessment guidance, literacy instruction and materials resources, and related implementation tools. (Michigan.gov)

Section 23g funding can help districts expand access to tutoring and intervention services that support literacy growth, math achievement, and student acceleration. These funds may be used to strengthen intervention delivery while helping schools provide consistent support for students who need it most.

FAQs

Catapult Learning supports Michigan schools and districts with high-impact tutoring, literacy and math intervention, multilingual learner academic support, MTSS-aligned services, summer and extended learning, professional learning, instructional coaching, and student well-being services.

Catapult Learning partners with schools and districts to provide tutoring, academic intervention, multilingual learner support, summer learning programs, professional development, and other student support services. Our goal is to help schools improve student outcomes, strengthen intervention efforts, and provide additional capacity for educators and school teams.

We help districts provide targeted literacy intervention for students who need additional support. Our work can align to district literacy goals, MTSS structures, assessment practices, and science of reading implementation priorities.

Yes. Catapult Learning can help districts expand academic and literacy support for multilingual learners while keeping services aligned to district instructional priorities. The goal is to strengthen student support without adding unnecessary burden to school teams.

We start with the structures your district already has in place. Then we help design intervention support around student data, schedules, staffing realities, school capacity, and progress monitoring expectations.

Many districts use federal, state, or local funds to support intervention, tutoring, multilingual learner services, professional learning, and student support. Eligibility depends on your district’s funding plans, allowable uses, and student needs. Our team can help review possible funding alignment with your district.

Yes, when it makes sense. In Michigan, ISDs often serve as connectors, conveners, and regional support partners. Catapult Learning can participate in ISD-hosted awareness sessions, lunch and learns, or regional conversations, while working directly with districts on service design and purchasing decisions.

We monitor student progress throughout implementation and provide reporting that helps district and school leaders see where students are growing, where support may need to adjust, and how services are contributing to district goals.

Our work is human-centered and implementation-focused. Students work with trained tutors and educators, and districts receive support with the operational pieces that often determine whether intervention succeeds: staffing, scheduling, consistency, progress monitoring, and communication.

Let’s Support Your District

Your district may already know which students need more support. The question is how to deliver that support consistently, without overloading the people already doing the work.
Catapult Learning can help you build a practical plan for literacy intervention, high-impact tutoring, multilingual learner support, MTSS-aligned services, and sustainable implementation.
