May a private elementary or secondary school become a provider of Supplemental Educational Services (SES), and be paid for providing SES?
Yes. Under Title I of the ESEA, private schools are eligible to become approved providers of SES and to receive payment for providing such services. Supplemental education services are tutoring and other academic enrichment provided outside of the regular school day to eligible public school students to help improve achievement in reading, language arts, and mathematics. Private schools are the providers only; their students are not eligible for the SES that they provide to public school students. Private schools interested in becoming SES providers should apply to their state education agency (SEA). For more information on becoming an SES provider visit the U.S. Department of Education’s web site at: http://www.ed.gov/nclb/choice/help/ses/privschools.html.
