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 SBEapproved SES providers since June 2003.

This item will approve SES providers for the 2015–17 school years.

The Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2015–17 SES cycle was released on September 19, 2014, with the applications due by October 30, 2014. In December 2014 and January 2015, CDE staff held two Readers’ Conferences to review each application deemed complete.

The SBE approved 92 applications at the March 2015 SBE meeting. The CDE also announced that it would read all remaining applications. The CDE held a third Readers’ Conference in March 2015. The SBE approved 6 additional SES applications at the May 2015 SBE meeting. CDE staff determined whether an SES application was “Adequate” by using the 2015 Scoring Rubric that was included in the RFA and provided specific examples of the requirements set forth in the California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 13075.2(b).

The CDE held a fourth Readers’ Conference in June 2015 to reread all applications that had not been approved using the 2015 Scoring Rubric. CDE staff used the “SES Request for Application (RFA) Scoring Rubric,Cohort 2010 (posted March 2010)” as specified by regulations.

SES applications must include a detailed description of the services provided by the applicant as required in California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 13075.2(b). The 2015 Scoring Rubric attempted to clarify to SES applicants where the CDE staff would look for the requirement.
