Title: AC3-Standard Agreement for Providers of Supplemental Educational Services

Recommendation:

I recommend that the School Board approve a standard agreement for providers of Supplemental Educational Services  (SES) for the NCLB and Title I programs.

Description:

• In accordance with the NCLB Law 107-110, Section 1116(e)(2) and (3), SES must be offered to eligible students in schools that have not made AYP for three or more years.

• Students are eligible if they are receiving free or reduced price meals and they are among the lowest performers in their school.

• The State of Florida provides each school district with a list of approved providers.  Each provider must sign the contract with the district.  Parents can then choose a provider from the list of those who signed a contract.

• The services are paid for out of the Title I 10% set aside money of $3,138,462  (estimated allocation).

• The state will set the amount per student in the School District of Palm Beach County.  This amount will not exceed $1280 per student.

Financial Impact:

The financial impact to the Special Revenue Budget is estimated at

$3,138,462.  The source of funds is the Title I budget.
