Title I, Part A – Supplemental Educational Services (SES)
Supplemental educational services include academic assistance such as tutoring, remediation and other educational interventions designed to increase the academic achievement of students in low-performing schools, which are provided outside of the regular school day.
Students from low-income families who are attending Title I schools that are in their second year of school improvement (i.e., have not made adequate yearly progress (AYP) for three or more years), in corrective action, or in restructuring status are eligible to receive these services.
The State is required to identify organizations, both public and private, that qualify to provide these services. Parents of eligible students are then notified, by the LEA, that supplemental educational services will be made available, and parents can select any approved provider that they feel will best meet their child’s needs in the area served by the LEA or within a reasonable distance of that area. The LEA (usually a school district) will sign an agreement with providers selected by parents, and the provider will then provide services to the child and report on the child’s progress to the parents and to the LEA.
For 2011-2112, student attending Colquitt County High School , who participate in the federal free and reduced lunch program, are eligible for Supplemental Education Services by an outside provider. Parents may choose a provider from the State approved list by going to the Colquitt County Schools homepage, clicking on Free Tutoring, then to Supplemental Educational Services Provider Directory.

Title I, Part A – Public School Choice
When a school is identified as needs improvement for the first time (after the second consecutive year of failing to make adequate yearly progress (AYP) in the same subject), corrective action, or state directed status, it must offer to all students the option to transfer to another public school within the local educational agency (LEA). The LEA must provide or pay for the transportation for all students who opt to transfer. The LEA must, no later than the first day of school following the year in which the LEA administered the assessments that resulted in its status, promptly notify parents of eligible students of their option to transfer. LEAs must notify parents of eligible students about public school choice options (notify parents of eligible children of the option to transfer their child to another public school not identified for improvement and provide details about the available options as far in advance as possible) sufficiently in advance of, but no later than 14 calendar days before, the start of the school. This requirement will apply at the beginning of the 2011-12 school year.
Students may transfer to another public school or a public charter school; however, schools to which students may transfer may not include those that are identified as needs improvement, corrective action, or state directed status and those that are persistently dangerous as determined by the State. The LEA must provide to parents of students eligible to transfer a choice of more than one school if more than one school is not identified as needs improvement. The LEA must take into account parents’ preferences among the public school choices offered. Lack of capacity may not be used to deny students the option to transfer to an eligible school.
If a student opts to transfer to another public school, the LEA must allow the student to remain in that school until the student has completed the highest grade; however, the LEA is only required to pay for transportation as long as the student’s original school is identified for school improvement, corrective action, or state directed status.
LEAs are required by Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to pay for public school choice related transportation.
For more information, contact Mrs. Laura Whitfield at (229)890-6124 or Mr. Gerald Burke at (229)890-6230.
