Under No Child Left Behind Act , eligible students attending public schools that need improvement must be given the opportunity to receive supplemental educational services if the student attends a Title I school that has been designated by the state to be in need of improvement for more than one year.

Overview

The term "Supplemental Educational Services (SES) " refers to extra academic assistance, such as tutoring, that is provided to students in subjects such as math, reading and writing. This extra help can be provided before or after school, on weekends, or in the summer. Districts must also provide parents with a list of state-approved supplemental educational services providers in the area and must let parents choose the provider that will best meet the educational needs of their child.

Osceola District Schools' Implementation of SES

Only families who qualify for free or reduced lunch are eligible for SES services.

• Each eligible student is allotted money to pay for SES. 

  This amount is determined by the State and changes from year to year. 

• An information packet is sent home to the parent/guardian of each eligible student.  This packet contains:

• an overview of all  SES Providers serving  Osceola District Schools
• an invitation to the Osceola SES Provider Fair
• eligible parents will be able to meet the Providers serving the district to help make an informed choice

 

• The parents pick the provider that serves Osceola District Schools,

  From the state-approved supplemental educational services providers list. 

• After making their selection each parent/guardian is contacted by the Provider. 

  The Provider, parent/guardian, and a district representative will all sign a Parent-District-Provider-Agreement (PDPA). 

There are certain conditions of the PDPA which must be fulfilled before tutoring sessions may begin.

• Each provider has their own per hour tutoring fee. 

The number of sessions each student receives varies from Provider to Provider.

The number of sessions that each student receives is determined by the per student amount divided by the per hour tutoring fee.
