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 additional providers for a two-year period beginning July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2016, including local educational agencies (LEAs) identified for improvement or corrective action as SES providersbased on the waivergranted by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The summary list of providers recommended for approval is provided as Attachment 1. The summary list of LEAs identified for improvement recommended for approval is provided as Attachment 2.
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 SBE 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)(A) and (B) 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 these provisions. A waiver request was submitted to the ED on August 26, 2013, and on November 19, 2013, the ED granted the request for a two-year period. A scanned copy of the response letter from ED can be found at andan alternative accessible version of the letter is available at
