Supplemental Educational Services Tutoring

What are supplemental educational services?

 

Supplemental educational services are additional academic instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of students in schools that have not met State targets for increasing student achievement (adequate yearly progress) for three or more years. These services may include tutoring and after-school services. They may be offered through public- or private-sector providers that are approved by the state, such as public schools, public charter schools, local education agencies, educational service agencies and faith-based organizations. Private-sector providers may be either nonprofit or for-profit entities. States must maintain a list of approved providers across the state organized by the school district or districts they serve, from which parents may select. States must also promote maximum participation by supplemental educational services providers to ensure that parents have as many choices as possible.

How do Parents know if their Child is Eligible for Supplemental Education Services?

Students from low-income families receiving free or reduced lunch who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet state standards for at least three years are eligible to receive supplemental educational services. Please see the list of eligible schools below.
