Supplemental Educational Services, or SES, are private tutoring and other remedial services required to be funded by Title I[1] public schools that fail to satisfy the standards of the No Child Left Behind bill.[2][3]
Students from low-income families who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet NCLB standards on tests for at least three years are eligible to receive Supplemental Educational Services.[4] But schools that fail to meet the applicable testing standards for only two years in a row must provide SES "[i]f choice is not feasible due to one of the following reasons[:][5]
- District is a single attendance area having one grade span per school.
- District does not have capacity.
- There are no high-performing schools in the district with comparable grade spans.
New Jersey
New Jersey releases its annual report of failing schools that qualify for SES online.[6]
Funding for SES services in New Jersey is capped at a maximum amount per student, which varies by district.[7] One fifth, or 20%, of the Title I funding received by a failing public school must be set aside for school choice or SES services.[5]
In New Jersey, far more families select SES rather than school choice: 19,243 students selected SES and only 363 selected school choice i the 2003-2004 school year.[5]
New Jersey applies an ethical code to SES providers.[8]
