This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of School Extension Learning Recovery Programs (SLERPs) authorized by the NC General Assembly in response to Hurricane Helene. These SLERPs will serve students in grades 4-8 in 13 western NC counties in summer 2025. The study team will collect data on SLERP program plans, student enrollments and attendance, benchmark exam scores, EOG scores, attendance, and grades for program attendees. The researchers will also conduct observations of SELRPs; interview district and school staff in the programs; and survey students and staff to understand stakeholders views of the programs. We will use a mixed methods approach to understand program implementation and impacts. Results from the study will provide evidence to education policymakers and practitioners on how the programs were designed and implemented; program impacts on student academic and school engagement outcomes; and the relationship between the program design and student outcomes.
