Information
Public Hearing
RECOMMENDATION

The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends that the State Board of Education (SBE) approve142 Supplemental Educational Services (SES) providers from the 2009 Request for Applications (RFA) review process for a two-year period (July 2009 through June 2011).

SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION

In January 2005, the SBE approved SES regulations, as well as a revised SES provider application and rubric. At the May, July, and September 2005 meetings, the SBE approved 263 SESproviders for two-year periods (2005-2007). At the May 2006 meeting, the SBE approved 18 SES providers for two-year periods (2006-2008). In May 2007, the SBE approved 185SES providers, and in September 2007 approved 11 additional SES providers, based onappeals. In May 2008, the SBE approved 68 SES providers (2008-2010). January 2009 is the fourth time that the SBE will approve SES providers using an annual review.

SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES

In September 2008, the CDE issued an RFA for interested entities. Applications for potential SES providers were due to the CDE on October 21, 2008. The Title l Policy and Accountability (TIPA) Office and other staff within CDEreviewed applications at an SES Readers’ Conferenceon October 29-31, 2008.

Title I, Part A, Section 1116(e) of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires that a SBE-approved provider can offer tutoring services to parents of low-income students in Program Improvement (PI) schools, Year 2 and beyond. The CDE is responsible for establishing and maintaining a list of SES providers, as described in Section 1116(e)(4) of NCLB.

SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES (Cont.)

SESis designed specifically to increase the academic achievement of eligible pupils through tutoring which includes academic services that are:

  • chosen by parents
  • provided outside the school day
  • research-based with demonstrated program effectiveness

The CDE evaluated each application against a rubricbased on SBE-adopted criteria. In order to be recommended for approval, applicants must adequately address all four elements of the criteria:

  • ElementI.Program
  • Element II.Staff
  • Element III.Research-Based and High Quality Program Effectiveness
  • Element IV.Evaluation and Monitoring

FISCAL ANALYSIS (AS APPROPRIATE)

Federal revenues are apportioned to LEAs to support the use of SES. LEAs must spend an amount equal to a minimum of 5 percent and a maximum of 20 percent of the Title I, Part A allocation for SES, unless a lesser amount is needed. Title V, Part A Innovative Program funds or other funds may be used to meet this requirement to support SES.
