What Is the Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Program?

Supplemental Educational Services (SES) are programs designed to provide eligible students in certain schools extra educational support in the form of additional tutoring outside of the regular school day by a state-approved provider.

Who Are SES Providers?

SES services are available only from state-approved providers.  If you return the attached form indicating your interest in obtaining tutoring for your child, you will then receive an SES Enrollment Application Form that will include a list of the state-approved providers in our area and a brief description the type of tutoring program each can make available to your child.  As the parent, you are the one who will make the choice of which SES provider’s program of tutoring best fits the needs of your child. 

Is My Child Eligible for SES Services?

Eligible students are those:

1. Attending a public school in its second or more year of Program Improvement under the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”, which in this school district is Barbara Worth Junior High School, Phil D. Swing Elementary School and J.W. Oakley Elementary School;
   
2. Who are also eligible for the Free and Reduced Meals program;

If Eligible, How Long Will My Child Be Able to Receive SES Services?

Eligible students will be able to receive SES services for this school year and each year there after as long as the school is identified as a Program Improvement School.  Once the school is no longer identified for Program Improvement, SES services will stop.

Who Pays for the Cost of SES Services?

The costs for SES services will be paid for by the school district using set-aside funds from Title I as provided for under the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”.  We will make every effort to allow as many eligible students as possible to participate.   However, funds are limited so we may not be able to enroll every child whose parent applies. 

Which Students Have Priority for Enrollment?

In compliance with federal law, we will give first priority to the lowest-achieving students who are also eligible for the Free and Reduced Meals program.  Low achievement will be based on the student’s state and school level assessments in language arts and mathematics.  In case of a tie, we will select students by a lottery drawing.
