Supplemental Educational Services Program
Under No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), a student may receive
extra help through the Title I Supplemental Educational
Services Program (SES) if the student attends a Title I
school designated as Under Improvement for two or more
years, and the child comes from a low income family.
1. What are supplemental
services?
The term "supplemental
services" refers to free extra help provided to students in
reading, language arts and math. This extra help can
be provided before or after school and on weekends. It
is free to students up to a predetermined amount that is
updated each year. Further information on the amount
can be found on the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE)
website at the link below.
2. What
schools are offering SES Services in the 2009-2010 School
Year?
Positive Outcomes
Charter School meets the Federal Requirements for offering
SES Services in 2009-2010.
3. When
will my school offer SES?
We will offer SES
for students starting in the fall and spring of each school
year.
4. Can
every student get SES?
No. Under federal
law, only low-income students are eligible for SES.
Also, because there may be only a limited number of spaces
in the SES program, we may not be able to enroll every
eligible student.
5. How
many students have taken advantage of the free tutoring in
the past?

6. How will students be chosen?
Although we hope to be
able to give SES to every student whose parent applies for
it, in compliance with federal law, we will give first
priority to the lowest achieving students.
7. How
will I know if my child is eligible?
Your child is eligible if
he or she is considered low income and attends Title I
school that is under improvement. A student is
considered low income if they are eligible for one or more
of the following: Free or Reduced Price Lunch, TANF,
Food Stamps, or Medicaid.
8. Who can answer my questions about SES?
