Supplemental Educational Services
Program
 Under No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB),
a student may receive extra help through the Title I
Supplemental Educational Services
Program (SES) if the student attends
a Title I school designated as Under
Improvement for two or more years,
and the child comes from a low
income family.
1. What are supplemental
services?
The term "supplemental services" refers
to free extra help provided to
students in reading, language arts
and math. This extra help can
be provided before or after school
and on weekends. It is free to
students up to a predetermined
amount that is updated each year.
Further information on the amount
can be found on the Delaware
Department of Education (DDOE)
website at the link below.
2. What
schools are offering SES Services in the
2011-2012 School Year?
Bancroft and Stubbs Elementary Schools;
Gauger-Cobbs, Kirk, and Shue-Medill Middle Schools; and
Christiana, Glasgow, and Newark High Schools meet the
Federal Requirements for offering SES Services in the
2011-2012 school year.
3. When will my school offer SES?
We will offer SES for students starting in the fall of each
school year.
4.
Can every student get SES?
No. Under federal law, only low-income students are
eligible for SES. Also, because there will be only a
limited number of spaces in the SES program, we may not be
able to enroll every eligible student.
5. How many students have
taken advantage of the free tutoring
in the past?
The table below shows you how many students were
eligible to participate in the Free
Tutoring and how many took advantage
of the services.

6. How will students be chosen?
Although we hope to be able to give SES to every student
whose parent applies for it, in compliance with federal law,
we will give first priority to the lowest achieving
students.
7. How will I know if my child is
eligible?
Your child is eligible if he or she is considered low
income and attends Title I school that is under
improvement. A student is considered low income if
they are eligible for one or more of the following:
Free or Reduced Price Lunch, TANF, Food Stamps, or Medicaid.
