/ CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
MARCH 2015 AGENDA

SUBJECT

Elementary and Secondary Education Act: Supplemental Educational Services Providers: Approval of Providers, Including Local Educational Agencies Identified for Improvement as Providers Based on a Waiver Granted Under Title I, Part A Section 9401 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to the 2015–17 State Board of Education-Approved Supplemental Educational Services Provider List. / Action
Information
Public Hearing

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE(S)

Section 1116(e)(4)(C) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires the state educational agency (SEA) to develop and maintain a list of approved Supplemental Educational Services (SES) providers to provide services to eligible students.

RECOMMENDATION

The California Department of Education (CDE) recommends the State Board of Education (SBE) approve providers for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2017, including local educational agencies (LEAs) identified for improvement or corrective action as SES providers based on the waiver granted by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The summary lists of providers recommended for approval are provided as Attachments 1 through 3. The summary list of LEAs identified for improvement recommended for approval is provided as Attachment 3.

BRIEF HISTORY OF KEY ISSUES

Title I, Part A Section 1116(e)(1) and (4) of the ESEA requires an SES provider be approved by the SEA before offering tutoring services to low-income students attending schools advancing to Program Improvement (PI) Year 2 and beyond. The CDE has established and maintained a list of SBE approved SES providers since June 2003.

Title 34, Code of Federal Regulations (34 CFR) Section 200.47(b)(1)(iv) prohibits an SEA from approving requests to provide SES services from LEAs identified for improvement or corrective action. However, the SEA may request a waiver of this provision. California requested the ED to waive this provision on August 23, 2013, and on September 10, 2014. The ED granted both requests, each for a two-year period, or through the 2017–18 school year. A copy of the November 19, 2013, response letter can be found on the SBE Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr14/mar14item25a3aav.asp. The December 15, 2014, response letter from the ED is provided as Attachment 4.

SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION

At its January 2015 meeting, the SBE removed the providers recommended for removal from the approved provider list for failure to submit their Accountability Report. (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr15/documents/jan15item08.doc)

At its January 2014 meeting, the SBE removed the providers recommended for removal from the approved provider list for failure to submit their Accountability Report. (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr14/documents/jan14item10.doc)

At its January 2013 meeting, the SBE removed the providers recommended for removal from the approved provider list for failure to submit their Accountability Report. (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr13/documents/jan13item21.doc)

At its September 2012 meeting, the SBE removed a provider recommended for removal from the approved provider list for failure to meet contractual terms with one or more LEAs. (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/ag/ag/yr12/documents/sep12item06.doc)

FISCAL ANALYSIS (AS APPROPRIATE)

There is no fiscal impact to the state.
