SES Tutoring

A Title I school that has not met AYP for two years in a row or longer must offer its students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals Supplemental Educational Services.  Supplemental Educational Services (SES) are tutorial services in reading or math.  The tutorial services are provided by state-approved agencies before school, after school or on weekends.  The District does not provide transportation for tutoring.

Parents of eligible students must apply to receive SES and choose a tutoring provider.  Enrollment forms and information on state-approved providers are mailed to the parents of eligible students at the beginning of the school year.  Parents are also invited to attend provider fairs held at a variety of locations throughout the county. 

The Florida Department of Education sets the maximum dollar amount per student that can be paid to the tutoring agencies for their services. It may not be possible to serve all students who apply for services.  If demand for SES services exceeds available funds, priority will be given to the lowest achieving students.  In Florida, tutoring must begin no later than October 15th. 

Each school that is required to offer SES to students has an SES Contact.  The SES Contact can obtain SES enrollment and provider information from the Cayen System Supplemental Services Tracker (SST) program.
