Book excerpt: Supplemental educational services (SES) are additional academic instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of students in schools in need of improvement. These services may include academic assistance such as tutoring, remediation and other educational interventions, provided that such approaches are consistent with the content and instruction used by the local educational agency (LEA) and are aligned with the State's academic content standards. Supplemental educational services must be provided outside of the regular school day. Supplemental educational services must be high quality, research-based, and specifically designed to increase student academic achievement [Section 1116(e)(12)(C)]. This guidance updates and expands upon the SES Guidance that the Department released on June 13, 2005. It includes a number of new and modified questions that address issues related to the Title I regulations released in October 2008 (hereafter referred to as the 2008 Title I regulations), as well as other major policy guidance the Department has issued since 2005. Responses to other questions are revised to make them clearer or more responsive to issues based on experience gained from the implementation of the Title I SES provisions. The following are appended: (1) Definitions; (2) Sample Parent Notification Letter on Supplemental Educational; and (3) Flowchart: Requirements and Responsibilities for Meeting the 20 Percent Obligation.
