Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), provides for "supplemental educational services" for disadvantaged students. Supplemental educational services (SES) are tutoring and other academic enrichment provided outside of the regular school day to eligible public school students to help improve achievement in reading, language arts, and math. To be eligible, students must be from low-income families and attend Title I public schools that State educational agencies (SEAs) have determined to be in their second year of improvement, in corrective action, or in restructuring. Parents of eligible students may obtain these services for their children free of charge from an approved SES provider of their choice. Under NCLB, private schools are eligible to become approved providers and to receive payment for providing SES to eligible public school students. The questions and answers offered in this document provide SEAs, local educational agencies (LEAs), and the private school community with guidance on private school participation in providing SES. By amplifying certain issues and by providing information on new topics, these questions and answers are intended to supplement the Department's current SES non-regulatory guidance and the information on SES contained in the brochure, "Opportunities for Private Schools to Provide Extra Academic Help to Disadvantaged Students."
