FROM: MaryEllen Elia, Superintendent
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Contracts of Supplemental Educational Providers for the 2006-07 School Year (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Title I Part A of the No Child Left Behind Act requires that schools that do not make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for three consecutive years offer tutoring through private contractors referred to as Supplemental Educational Services or SES. Services must be offered through state approved providers. After approval from the state, all SES Providers must contract with each individual school district that they intend on providing services. The Supplemental Educational Services district contract was written with significant input from site facilitators, district and state officials, as well as State-Approved providers. It is in alignment with Senate Bill 772 which was passed during the 2006 Legislative session which establishes school district and provider responsibilities for supplemental educational services (SES) in Title I schools.
ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)
Goal 5 - The district will eliminate the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test achievement gap by a minimum of 10% as reported by No Child Left Behind.
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)
The total potential impact to the Title I Part A NCLB Choice Set Aside is $6,578,750.00 which represents 15% of the required 20% set aside. (5263 students x $1,250 per child amount)
The total potential impact to the Title I Part A General Fund is estimated to be $750,000. (Costs include program staff and support staff, required marketing expenses as stipulated by law, and miscellaneous materials and supplies
EVALUATION
Although the state does not permit districts to evaluate the Supplemental Educational Providers directly, Hillsborough County conducts its own evaluation of the performance of Supplemental Educational Providers to determine effectiveness of services. Currently, the Assessment and Accountability division is conducting an evaluation of the Title I Program to determine overall program effectiveness which includes the data analysis of each child who received supplemental educational services. This data will be shared with providers to assist them in their program development.
