Under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), if a Title I school does not make adequate yearly progress (AYP) for two years in a row, it is said to be “in need of improvement,” and it must offer parents public school choice. Implementing this NCLB requirement depends on the availability of other schools in the district that are making AYP and their capacity to add students to their enrollment.  

Districts must display certain information about SES on the district website. Federal regulation (34 C.F.R. 200.39 Guidance G-10 and G-11) 

Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Section 1116 (e), students from low-income families attending schools that do not make adequate yearly progress for three or more years are eligible to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES). ISBE’s Data Analysis Division determines school status for each school year and publishes a list. School districts are responsible for funding these services, which must be provided outside the normal school day, through their Title I, Part A funds.  The ISBE must develop and apply objective criteria to create a list of approved SES providers.

SES is extra academic services, such as tutoring and improvement of skills in the areas of math, reading, language arts, and science.  These services are offered outside of the regular school hours free of cost to qualifying low-income students attending Title I schools.  Title I schools who do not meet state target goals for two or more years in the same subject must offer supplemental academic services using Title I funds.

SES providers for 2012-2013 are: Achievement Academy, Empowerment, ATS Project Success, Grade Craker, Brain Hurricane, ChiTutorsz, GradePlus Tutors, Innovadia & Sylvan Learning Center.
