Supplemental Educational Services

The supplemental educational services (SES) provision of the No Child Left Behind Act requires Title I schools in need of improvement to offer tutoring to students in an effort to increase academic achievement.  NSBA encourages schools and districts required to offer SES to incorporate these services into comprehensive after-school programs that support both the learning and developmental needs of students.  For more information about high-quality after-school programs, click here.

Listed below are a range of SES resources that will be useful to state school boards associations and local school boards in working with SES. Additional information on SES is available elsewhere on the NSBA website. To access resources from School Board News, COSA (the Council of School Attorneys), NSBA's Advocacy office, and other sources, search "supplemental educational services" above.
