What are Supplemental Education Services (SES)?

The No Child Left Behind Law of 2001 requires that all low income children in Schools classified as School Improvement II, and Corrective Action I and II must be offered Supplemental Educational Services (SES), such as tutoring, after-school or summer school.  These services provide additional tutoring in reading and/or mathematics. A specified amount of funding is available for each low income child.

 Who are “eligible” students?
Eligible students are those from low-income families who remain in schools that fail to meet state standards for at least three years.  These students are given priority in school choice and supplemental education services.

Harrisburg School District Student Eligibility and Participation in Supplemental Education Services (SES)…  

Comparison of Your Child’s School to Others in the District…

*This school does not require an application and does not have entrance requirements. It is a School OF Choice (2^nd year of AYP or in Warning).

** This school is technically a School of Choice, but because it has application / entrance requirements, and although it is open for all students to apply, students cannot automatically attend this school.

***This school must make AYP a second time to become a School of Choice. Students may still request a move to a qualifying school of choice.

**** Schools in Improvement I status do not have automatic SES obligations.

A superscript number next to Corrective Action II indicates the number of years in Corrective Action.
