Open Agenda
Approve the agreements for SES providers as required by Section 1008.331, Florida Statutes.
Section 1008.331, Florida Statutes, requires Supplemental Educational Services (SES) to be offered to students enrolled in a Title I school and scored a Level 1 or Level 2 on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). SES is a program that offers free tutoring to eligible students to increase academic achievement in areas of Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
There are currently 183 State-approved SES providers who are eligible to offer SES services in Broward County, Florida, and have expressed an interest. Parents may choose a supplemental educational services provider for their child(ren) from among the providers approved by the state for their school district.
The current agreements are for the following providers: 1) Accelerate 2 Achieve, 2) Achieve HighPoints, 3) Community After School, Inc., 4) Journey to Learning Educational Services, Inc., 5) Learn It Online, 6) SO4S, 7) Stanley's Academy of Excellence, LLC, 8) Sylvan Learning Center, 9) The Family Preservation of South Florida, Inc., 10) The Literacy Through Sports Foundation, Inc.
Vendors can receive up to $1,146.07 per pupil for student tutoring services. This is equal to the per pupil appropriation given the District under the Title I program. Based on the required Title I set aside for SES, it is anticipated that 3,376 students can potentially be served in the 2012-2013 school year. There will be additional contracts forthcoming due to the high volume of approved SES providers.
The full agreement is available online via the Broward County Public Schools eAgenda at:

These agreements have been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
The financial impact for this initiative is up to $1,146.07 per approximately 3,376 students. The source of funds is the District's Title I SES state required set aside of $3,868,465. There is no additional financial impact to the district.
