It?s good to hear from you again.
Are you looking for providers of supplemental educational services to Title I schools, as required by the No Child Left Behind Act?
I have done some preliminary research on the question and, if I understand it correctly, I would like to continue working on it. However, I am only able to work on it part-time, so it may take me 4 or 5 days. If you would prefer to receive an answer sooner, let me know and I will leave it for another researcher.
Googlenut
Yes,
The NCLB requires schools that do not meet the AYP Adequate Yearly Progress to use the Supplemental Education Service Providers, to do so. I am looking to find as much as I can about these providers, in order to try and provide them with a product that will help kids read independently ( title I schools, and others) No problem 4-5 days will do
Looking forward to hearing from you
Yoel
I will try to address each of your four questions about K-12 Supplemental Educational Service Providers:
- Who are the leading players in the US K-12 market?
- What are their budget resources (federal and State)?
- What states and districts are mostly using the SES?
- How do they deal with struggling readers?

Kaplan, Educate, Princeton Review tutoring benefit from NCLB
Electronic Education Report
Nov 12, 2004
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FAL/is_22_11/ai_n6364603
?No Child Left Behind and the demand from schools and parents for materials and services to improve student performance on state exams is driving revenue growth at three of the largest K-12 tutoring providers--Kaplan (New York), Educate (Baltimore) and The Princeton Review (New York).?
---
?The Princeton Review provides its supplemental tutoring services to 30 districts. This year, it has renewed contracts with New York City, Philadelphia, the state of Virginia and Fairfax County, Va.?
---
?Educate, the former K-12 division of Sylvan Learning Systems, which broke up into two companies (K-12 and higher education) in 2003, also benefited from NCLB. Educate chairman and CEO Chris Hoehn-Saric said growth opportunities in K-12 educational services are rapidly expanding because of NCLB. The company is opening more of its traditional center-based learning sites for after-school supplemental education. Sylvan Learning Centers expanded its network by 57 centers since September 2003.?
---
?Like Sylvan Learning Centers, Kaplan's Score! centers continue to expand. Score! contributed to revenue growth with higher rates and 11 new centers compared to 2003.
In September, Score! opened a new center in Philadelphia, the third such center there in the previous three months. The company has plans to open two more centers in Philadelphia by the end of 2004. Score! provides skills-training via a software program. Nationwide, there are 160 Score! centers serving 40,000 children.?

K-12 Services, test prep help power double-digit revenue growth at Kaplan and Princeton Review. Educational Marketer
August 9, 2004
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0DHM/is_23_35/ai_n6158117
?Midway through 2004, the Princeton Review (New York) and Kaplan (New York) each are experiencing double-digit revenue growth from their test prep and K-12 services businesses. Revenue from Kaplan's supplemental education business grew 30.5% to $279 million, and Princeton Review's Test Prep and K-12 Services business combined to generate $51 million, up 25.6%, in the first six months of the year.
Supplemental Education at Kaplan, a subsidiary of the Washington Post Co. (Washington, D.C.), includes its traditional test prep business, K-12 state test preparation, school-based K-12 Learning Services and Score! center-based tutoring, as well as professional training.?
---
?Test Prep, K-12 Drive Princeton Growth Princeton Review's Test Prep division increased revenue 10.4% to $18.2 million in the second quarter and was up 13.9% to $37 million in the six-month period, driven largely by growth in the company's new tutoring course for the new SAT exam.
But tutoring services for K-12, designed to address opportunities from No Child Left Behind under the supplemental educational services provision, also helped power growth. Tutoring revenue was up 36% in the six-month period, according to company management. The company's supplemental education services business generates most of its revenue in the first and fourth quarters.?

Failure Free Reading Program
Overview
http://www.failurefree.com/m_overview.htm
?What is the Failure Free Reading System?
The Failure Free Reading Program system was designed to give nonreaders and lowest literacy students the opportunity to have an immediate and successful age-appropriate reading experience.?
Failure Free Reading
Why It Works
http://www.failurefree.com/m_whyworks.htm
?Traditional reading programs are effective for most students, but they don't work for the five to ten percent that give teachers 95% of their headaches. That's because traditional reading material doesn't provide these students with the three elements that are necessary for a successful reading experience:
- adequate repetition,
- appropriate sentence structure and
- meaningful story content.
Failure Free Reading provides these elements in age appropriate modules for nonreaders, whether they are 6 or 60 years old.?

?Alabama released the results from last year?s state assessments. Under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, these assessments are required to determine what schools have met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards. Last year, 46 schools were required to provide Supplemental Educational Services (SES) because they had not met AYP for more than two years. Of those 46 schools, only three schools met AYP this year: Pittsview Elementary in Russell County, West Mastin Lake Elementary in Huntsville City, and Holt Elementary in Tuscaloosa County. All three schools used Failure Free Reading for their SES, providing after-school tutorials to boost student performance in reading.?

?The Academy of Reading is a reading intervention software tool designed to complement an existing reading curriculum for students in K-12 and adults. It is an intervention program for those who are behind in their basic reading skills as well as for learners who need to develop and improve reading acquisition skills. The program focuses on phonemic awareness, phonics, and reading comprehension. The Academy of Reading recommends 20-30 minutes, 3-5 times per week, though younger students or exceptional students may only be able to work for 15 minutes at a time and high school students and adults may work as long as 45 minutes.
The Academy of Reading is designed to improve automaticity, which is defined by the program as learning skills to a level of rapid automatic responding through practice. The systematic and explicit instruction and practice is presented in training modules called Phonemic Awareness, Reading Subskills, and Comprehension. In the first two modules, most of the instruction includes a blend of Phonemic Awareness and Reading Subskills. Comprehension is presented only after students master the first two modules.

***The president?s 2005 budget includes $13.3 billion in Title I funding for school districts to improve the academic achievement of children in high-poverty schools. This is an increase of $1 billion over the 2004 funding.
School districts are required to spend an amount equal to 20 percent of their Title I funds to pay for supplemental educational services for eligible students and for transportation of students exercising the public school choice option, unless a lesser amount is needed to meet all requests. The allocation of Title I funds to school districts is based on the number of children, ages 5-17, from families living in poverty, based on updated 2000 census data. ========================================================================

Title I, Part A Program
http://www.ed.gov/programs/titleiparta/index.html
?This program provides financial assistance through State educational agencies (SEAs) to local educational agencies (LEAs) and public schools with high numbers or percentages of poor children to help ensure that all children meet challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards.
LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to public schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. Unless a participating school is operating a schoolwide program, the school must focus Title I services on children who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet State academic standards. Schools enrolling at least 40 percent of students from poor families are eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school.
Title I reaches about 12.5 million students enrolled in both public and private schools. Title I funds may be used for children from preschool age to high school, but most of the students served (65 percent) are in grades 1 through 6; another 12 percent are in preschool and kindergarten programs.?

Supplemental Services
Title I, section 1116(e)
http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/suppsvcs/supplementalservices.doc
?Funding Issues
- How much must be spent on supplemental services? An LEA must spend up to an amount equal to 20 percent of its Title I, Part A allocation, before any reservations, on: (1) Choice-related transportation; (2) Supplemental educational services; or (3) a combination of (1) and (2).
- Must all of the funding for supplemental services come from Title I funds? No. The statutory phrase ?an amount equal to? means that the funds required to pay the costs of choice-related transportation and supplemental educational services need not come from Title I allocations, but may be provided from other Federal, State, local, and private sources. However, the amount must be equal to 20 percent of the LEA?s Title I, Part A allocation.
- In addition to Title I, what other federal funds may be used to pay for supplemental services? LEAs may use (1) funds from Title V, Local Innovative Education Program; and (2) funds transferred to Title I from other federal education programs under Section 6123 of ESEA, including funds from Title II, Part A Improving Teacher Quality State Grants; Title II, Part D Educational Technology State Grants; Title IV, Part A Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities State Grants; and Title V, Part A State Grants for Innovative Programs.
- Must the local educational agency pay for or provide transportation to and from service providers? While the LEA may provide transportation, it is not required to do so.?

10 Facts About K-12 Education Funding
http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/10facts/index.html
?Most federal funds are sent directly to states and local school districts for their use in schools.
The president's FY 2005 budget would provide $38.7 billion for K-12 education. Of that amount, 95 percent would be distributed either directly to local districts or to schools through their states. Individual schools then use these funds for the purposes defined in the programs.
ESEA Title I: $13.3 billion
IDEA Part B: $11.1 billion
Improving Teacher Quality: $2.9 billion
English Language Learners: $587.4 million
Impact Aid (schools impacted by military bases and other facilities): $1.2 billion

Non-Regulatory Guidance

?K-1. How may an LEA pay for supplemental educational services?
LEAs may use Title I funds as well as other Federal, State, local, and private resources to pay for supplemental educational services required as part of the school improvement process. To augment the amount of funds available to provide supplemental educational services, an SEA may use funds it reserves under Title I, Part A and Title V, Part A to increase the funds available for LEAs to provide supplemental educational services for eligible students requesting such services .
Payment terms must be specified in the agreement between the LEA and the provider, as described in G-2. An LEA may arrange for paying a provider for services in a number of ways. An LEA may pay the provider directly for such services. Alternatively, an LEA may issue certificates or coupons to parents of an eligible student for them to ?purchase? services from an approved provider. For example, a certificate may entitle parents to obtain, from a provider of their choice on the States? approved list, a certain number of hours of services or sessions for their student. As the student receives the services, the parent would redeem the certificate, which the provider would then submit to the LEA for payment.?

?One of the primary components of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), signed January 8, 2002, requires that eligible students in specific schools be provided supplemental academic services such as tutoring. The NCLB legislation requires that school districts reserve 20% of their total Title One allocation to pay for compliance with the law. Therefore, all payment for supplemental services will be free to eligible students.
Initial eligibility is determined by the school the student attends. If the school is in the second year or more of Program Improvement, then students who attend that school and who participate in the free/reduced meal program are eligible. Supplemental Educational Services are academic assistance or tutoring-type services offered before or after school, on weekends or during off-track time by state approved providers. The state approved over 130 organizations for 2004-05 to provide these services and Beyond The Bell Branch is one. Twenty-four providers, including Beyond the Bell Learning Centers, chose to work with the students in the LAUSD in 2004-05.
For 2004-05 there are over 230,000 students eligible for Supplemental Educational Services at 111 Program Improvement schools (click here to see the list of Program Improvement schools).?
