Supplemental Educational Services FAQs

   

Under provision of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) schools that have been identified as "Needs Improvement" schools for two or more years may be required to offer parents the opportunity to transfer their child to another school.  Schools that have been identified as "Needs Improvement" schools must make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two years in a row to move out of that status.  During that time, schools may be requred to offer choice and other options, as required by law.
