 Seven Tutoring Fairs Set
Students in Program Improvement Schools Eligible For Supplemental Education Services Under No Child Left Behind
July 10, 2007

SAN DIEGO – Parents of students attending Program Improvement schools in the San Diego Unified School District are invited to seven tutoring provider fairs scheduled in July and August.

The service provider fairs give parents the opportunity to meet and speak with the tutoring providers and choose the one that best fits their students’ needs.

The federal No Child Left Behind Act provides options to parents of students attending campuses that have been categorized as Program Improvement for a school year or more. Under the Act, schools in Program Improvement for year two or more must offer students Supplemental Educational Services, which includes free tutoring.

During the week of July 16, parents of students in affected schools should receive a booklet by mail detailing the program. More than 30 Supplemental Education Services providers are expected to attend. Their programs are approved by the California Department of Education.

Parents and students can select their top three providers and complete the application at the provider fairs. The application can be turned in at the fairs or returned to the district in the postpaid envelope by August 31, in care of Supplemental Education Services Office, 4100 Normal Street, Room 2153, San Diego, 92103.
