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
Acknowledgments. (Contains 10 tables and 7 figures.)
