Public School Choice |
| |
Year 1 and above Program Improvement schools must offer parents/guardians of eligible students Public School Choice, which is the option of transferring to an available school in the district that has not been identified as a Program Improvement school. Before considering the option, you are encouraged to visit your child’s school to learn about their instructional program and the various supportive services that they provide.
If you wish to take advantage of Pubic School Choice, transportation will be provided to the non-PI school for as long as the home school continues to be identified as a PI school. If the demand for choice exceeds available funds, priority will be given to low-income students.
The Title I School Choice Intradistrict Transfer Request in English and Spanish is available at the school, district office and the district’s website. Transfer requests received will be reviewed and processed on a first come, first served basis. Applicants will be annually notified of eligibility and transfer information. |

Supplemental Educational Services (SES) |
| |
Year 2 and above Program Improvement schools must offer Supplemental Educational Services (SES) to their low-income students. SES are free academic tutoring services in English language arts, mathematics, or science.
|
| |
|
Who is eligible for SES? |
| |
|
|
If you child qualified for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program and is enrolled at a Year 2 and above Program Improvement (PI) school, he/she may qualify for free SES tutoring. If funds are insufficient to provide SES to all eligible students, students will be prioritized according to academic need based on the students’ achievement levels on state assessment tests. |
| |
|
What do I have to do to receive these free tutoring services? |
| |
|
|
You must fill out an application available at your child’s school, at SES Parent Information Nights, and at the District Office beginning in September. You will need to choose two different tutoring companies, select the subject for your child’s tutoring (language arts, math or science), sign the application, and return it to your child’s school office or the district office. |
| |
|
How can I select a company for SES tutoring for my child? |
| |
|
|
Attend one of the SES Parent Information Nights provided in the fall. Review the SES booklet provided with descriptions of the companies. Some companies provide individual tutoring in your home. Others offer individual or small-group tutoring at community sites. |
