How free tutoring works

       
What are supplemental educational services? Which students are eligible for SES? For how long must SES
be provided?		 Who is eligible to
provide SES?		 What are the district's obligations for notifying parents about the availability of SES?
SES are educational opportunities that are mandated by a federal law called the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to be provided, outside of the regular school day, to students in low-performing schools. It may includes tutoring, remediation, and other educational interventions or additional academic support. Students from low-income families, who attend a Title 1 school that fails to make progress for three years are elegible for SES. Services must be provided until the end of the school year, unless the amount of funds or intensity of services limits the availability of services to a shorter
period of time.		 SES providers are approved by states, based on their record of effectiveness in increasing student achievement. States should develop their approved vendor list in conjunction with districts, parents, teachers, and other interested members
of the public.		 The district mus notify parents annually if their child is eligible for SES. The notification must be understandable and, where practical, in the parent's native language. The notice must include: a list of approved providers; a brief description of the services, qualifications, and demonstrated effectiveness of such providers; and the procedures and timelines that parents must follow to select a provider.
