The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA) requires | |
districts with schools that have not met state | |
performance goals for 3 consecutive years to offer their | |
low-income students supplemental educational services | |
(SES), such as tutoring, if these schools receive Title I | |
funds. SES are provided outside of the regular school day | |
by a state-approved provider, with responsibility for | |
implementation shared by states and districts. The U.S. | |
Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined: (1) how | |
SES participation changed between school years 2003-2004 | |
and 2004-2005; (2) how SES providers are working with | |
districts to deliver SES; (3) how states are monitoring | |
and evaluating SES; and (4) how the Department of | |
Education (Education) monitors and supports state | |
implementation of SES. To collect data on SES, GAO | |
surveyed all states and a nationally representative | |
sample of districts with schools required to offer SES. | |
Also, 4 school districts were visited, and 22 SES | |
providers were interviewed. SES-related research was | |
reviewed, and Education staff were interviewed. GAO | |
recommended that Education disseminate information on | |
promising practices used to improve SES implementation, | |
provide states with technical assistance to improve | |
evaluation of SES's effect on student achievement, and | |
expand program flexibility where appropriate. Education | |
generally supported GAO's recommendations. Appended are: | |
(1) Scope and Methodology; (2) Comments from the | |
Department of Education; and (3) GAO Contacts and Staff | |
