To qualify for SES, a student must be attending a Title I school that has not made AYP for three consecutive years. The student must be documented as being from a low-income family and this group may be prioritized based upon academic achievement. A student cannot receive both school choice and SES. Parents of students who qualified were offered the option of school choice or SES during the spring enrollment period.
There are currently 56 State-approved vendors who are eligible to offer SES services in Broward County. Vendors can receive up to $1,365 per pupil for these services. This is equal to the per pupil appropriation given the District under Title I Program. To date more than 1400 parents have selected SES for the 2006-07 school year. There will be additional contracts coming forward this year due to subsequent enrollment opportunities for parents and a second vendor enrollment window offered by the Florida Department of Education. The attached time line provides an overview of the process employed for the current school year.
All agreements have been approved as to form by the School Board Attorney.
The financial impact for this initiative is up to $1,365 per approximately 1,400 students. The source of funds is the District’s Title I budget estimated to be $1,911,000. There is no additional financial impact to the district.
