Introduction

On January 8, 2002, President George W. Bush ushered in a new era in
education by signing into law the *No Child Left Behind* Act of 2001
(NCLB). This act is the most sweeping change in education policy in
three decades. It gives information and new resources to parents, new
tools to teachers and new hope to every child in America who attends a
school that needs substantial improvement. President Bush and U.S.
Secretary of Education Rod Paige have made it a priority to close the
achievement gap in America's schools. America needs the help of
faith-based and community organizations to achieve this goal.

One very important part of the *No Child Left Behind* Act is the
requirement to provide additional academic instruction for low-income
children in certain schools that are in need of improvement. These
supplemental educational services represent one important step in the
effort to increase the academic achievement of students in
low-performing schools. Faith-Based and Community Organizations (FBCOs)
are eligible under this law to be providers of supplemental services to
qualified low-income children and to be reimbursed for these services
with federal, state or local funds.

This toolkit is designed to answer questions that you may have about
what is needed to become an eligible provider of supplemental services.
It is not a binding legal document. If you like, you may review the
legal documents found at: [www.nclb.gov](http://www.nclb.gov/) (*No
Child Left Behind* Act, the Regulations and the Non-Regulatory Guidance
on Supplemental Services). For further information, please read the
official guidance document on our Web site
([www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/](http://www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/))
or contact the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives at
<faithandcommunity@ed.gov>, or 1-800 USA LEARN.

> **This guide is organized as a series of frequently asked questions.**
>
> **What are supplemental educational services?**
>
> Supplemental educational services are additional academic instruction
> designed to increase the academic achievement of students in
> low-performing schools. These services may include academic assistance
> such as tutoring, remediation and other educational interventions,
> provided that such approaches are consistent with the content and
> instruction used by the local education agency (LEA) and aligned with
> the state's academic content standards. Supplemental educational
> services must be provided outside of the regular school day.
> Supplemental educational services must be high-quality,
> research-based, and specifically designed to increase student academic
> achievement.
>
> **What is the purpose of supplemental educational services?**
>
> When students are attending schools that have not made adequate yearly
> progress in increasing student academic achievement for three
> consecutive years, parents will be provided opportunities to ensure
> that their children reach the level of proficiency required by the
> state in reading, language arts and math. Supplemental educational
> services are a component of the *No Child Left Behind* Act (NCLB) that
> will provide extra academic assistance for eligible children. Students
> from low-income families who are attending Title I schools that are in
> their second year of school improvement (those that have not made
> adequate yearly progress for three or more years), in corrective
> action or in restructuring status are eligible to receive these
> services.
>
> You can identify the schools where students are eligible for
> supplemental services by contacting your state education agency.
> Contact information for each state is included in the appendix to this
> document.
>
> States are required to identify organizations, both public and
> private, that qualify to provide these services. Parents of eligible
> students are then notified by the LEA that supplemental educational
> services will be made available, and parents can select any approved
> provider that they feel will best meet their child's needs in the area
> served by the local education agency or within a reasonable distance
> of that area. The LEA, which is usually a school district, will sign
> an agreement with providers selected by parents, who will then provide
> services to the child and report on the child's progress to the
> parents.

The goal is to ensure that these students increase their academic
achievement, particularly in reading/language arts and mathematics. This
component of Title I offers parents choices in addressing their child's
educational needs and offers students the extra help needed to succeed.

> **Are faith-based organizations, including entities such as religious
> private schools, eligible to be supplemental educational service
> providers?**
>
> Yes. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are eligible to become providers
> of supplemental educational services if they meet the applicable
> statutory and regulatory requirements. In matters of program
> eligibility, a state education agency (SEA) may not discriminate
> against potential supplemental services providers on the basis of
> their religious character or affiliation. Thus, faith-based and
> community based organizations are encouraged to become providers of
> supplemental educational services on the same basis as other eligible
> entities.
>
> **What are the rules for participation of faith-based organizations?**
>
> Faith-Based organizations are not required to give up their religious
> character or identification to be providers.
>
> All providers must agree to ensure that the instruction and content of
> the supplemental services are secular, neutral and nonideological.
> Neither Title I funds nor other federal funds shall be expended to
> support religious practices, such as religious instruction, worship or
> prayer. FBOs may offer such practices, but not as part of the
> supplemental educational services; and FBOs should comply with
> generally applicable cost accounting requirements to ensure that
> federal funds are not used to support these activities. For example,
> FBOs may wish to keep federal funds in a separate account to ensure
> that they are not used inappropriately. Office of Management and
> Budget (OMB) Circular A-21
> (<http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a021/a021.html>) provides
> guidance for education institutions regarding appropriate accounting
> practices, and OMB Circular A-122
> (<http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a122/a122.html>) provides
> guidance for nonprofit organizations. You can also request these by
> calling (202) 395-3080.
>
> **Who is eligible to receive supplemental educational services?**
>
> Eligible students include all students from low-income families who
> attend Title I schools that are in their second year of school
> improvement, in corrective action or in restructuring. Eligibility is
> not dependent on whether the student is a member of a subgroup that
> caused the school to not make adequate yearly progress or whether the
> student is in a grade that takes the statewide assessments.
>
> The state education agencies will have a list of the eligible schools.
>
> **How does my organization become an eligible provider of supplemental
> services?**
>
> Your organization must apply to the state education agency for the
> states in which you wish to provide services. A list of the contact
> information for these offices can be found in Appendix A or on our Web
> site
> ([www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/](http://www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/)).
> Once the state places your organization on its list of approved
> providers, parents of eligible students may select you as their
> provider of supplemental services.
>
> **How do states identify and approve supplemental educational services
> providers?**
>
> The SEA must develop and apply objective criteria for approving
> supplemental educational service providers. The criteria for approving
> providers as well as the list of approved providers must be published.
>
> A list of Web sites where you can find application packages from
> various states can be found in Appendix A or on our Web site at
> ([www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/](http://www.ed.gov/faithandcommunity/)).
>
> The basic criteria that states must use to approve supplemental
> service providers are as follows:

1.  A demonstrated record of effectiveness in improving student academic
    achievement;

2.  Documentation that the instructional strategies used by the provider
    are high-quality, based upon research and designed to increase
    student academic achievement;

3.  Assurance that services are consistent with the instructional
    program of the local education agency and with state academic
    achievement standards;

4.  Evidence that the provider is financially sound;

5.  Assurance by the provider that it will provide supplemental
    educational services consistent with applicable federal, state and
    local health, safety and civil rights laws;

6.  Assurance by the provider that all instruction and content involved
    in the supplemental services is secular, neutral and
    non-ideological; and

7.  Assurance by the provider that it will provide parents of children
    receiving supplemental services and the appropriate local education
    agency information regarding the progress of the children in
    increasing achievement in a form and, to the extent practicable, a
    language that their parents can understand.

> States have flexibility in developing their approval process but must
> provide an opportunity, at least annually, for new providers to apply
> for inclusion on the state's list and ensure that interested providers
> have knowledge of the process. The SEA must give school districts a
> list of available providers in their general geographic locations.
> States may establish a reasonable period of time during which
> additional providers may apply, be evaluated for approval, and be
> added to the list.
>
> **What is the key to preparing a high-quality application and
> delivering high-quality supplemental services?**
>
> The key to preparing a high-quality application is to address the core
> criteria used by the states for evaluating applications of
> supplemental service providers. Carefully review the application to
> determine the criteria by which it will be judged. Standards and
> specific application instructions will vary somewhat from state to
> state, and it is most important that your application is tailored to
> the standards and instruction of each state to which you apply.
> However, here are a few tips that may be useful to you in addressing
> the criteria:
>
> **1. A demonstrated record of effectiveness in improving student
> academic achievement.**
>
> States must determine what constitutes suitable evidence of a
> demonstrated record of effectiveness for the purposes of approving
> providers for the state list. The NCLB's emphasis on the state's
> responsibility to promote participation by the maximum number of
> providers to give parents as many choices as possible suggests that
> states take a flexible approach in determining effectiveness.
>
> **2. Evidence that the applicant's instructional practices are of high
> quality, based upon research and designed to increase student academic
> achievement.**
>
> A major focus of the *No Child Left Behind Act* is to use only those
> educational practices that have evidence to suggest that they will
> increase student academic achievement. This means the *most important
> consideration* in assessing the educational practices of a potential
> provider should be whether those practices result in improved academic
> achievement in reading/language arts and mathematics. Whenever
> possible, a provider should submit as part of the state approval
> process any academic research supporting the particular instructional
> methods used by the provider.
>
> In addition, the state may want to consider the following questions
> when identifying supplemental educational service providers:

1.  How consistent are the services with the state's academic content
    and achievement standards, as they are required to be by the
    statute?

2.  Is the progress of students receiving these services constantly
    monitored?

3.  Is the instruction focused, intensive, and targeted to student
    needs?

4.  Do students receive constant and systematic feedback on what they
    are learning?

5.  Are instructors adequately trained to deliver the supplemental
    educational services?

6.  Are students and parents participating in the program satisfied with
    the instructional program?

> **3. Connection to state academic standards and district instructional
> programs.**
>
> Applications will be evaluated on the extent to which the applicant
> describes its program's integration with state academic standards and
> the local school district's instructional programs. Thus it is very
> important to develop a cooperative relationship with the LEA (local
> school district). Be sure to convey an attitude of cooperation in
> order to advance the academic achievement of the students to be
> served.
>
> Applications should describe the program's connection to specific
> state academic standards and the instructional program of the district
> in which the organization intends to operate. When possible cite the
> specific standards and programs the program addresses.
>
> State academic standards may be found on the Web sites of the state
> education agencies. Achieve, Inc. maintains a database of state
> academic standards on its Web site at
> [www.achieve.org/](http://www.achieve.org/). Click on resources to
> find the database and the terms and conditions for using it. (Please
> note that information about this Web site is offered for informational
> purposes only and does not imply an endorsement of this site by the
> U.S. Department of Education.)
>
> **4. Monitoring Student Progress**
>
> Applications will be evaluated based on whether or not the applicant
> clearly describes the specific programs and practices used to diagnose
> a student's needs, prescribe an instructional program to meet that
> student's needs, and evaluate and monitor that student's progress
> towards clearly identified goals. Regular feedback should be provided
> to the students on what they are learning. Your description should
> address all three of the following:
>
> a\. The specific process used to assess student needs, identify skill
> or knowledge gaps and prescribe an instructional program based on the
> student's individual needs.
>
> b\. The specific process used to evaluate, monitor, and track student
> progress on a continuous and regular basis.
>
> c\. How a timetable will be developed for each student's achievement
> gain that includes clear goals for the student.
>
> **5. Communication with Schools**
>
> Applications will be evaluated based on whether or not they
> demonstrate a clear link between the academic programs a student
> receives in the regular school day and the instruction and content of
> the supplemental educational program provided. Clearly explain how
> students' progress will be communicated to schools and describe how a
> connection between the school program and applicant services will be
> ensured. Descriptions should address:
>
> a\. How a connection between the applicant instructional program and
> the program in place at the students' school will be ensured.
>
> b\. The specific procedures used to report on student progress to
> students' teachers and appropriate school or district staff and the
> reporting frequency.
>
> **6. Communication with parents and families**
>
> Applications will be evaluated on the extent to which it can
> demonstrate a consistent and specific process for providing parents
> and families of students with information on the children's progress
> in increasing achievement, and providing that information in a format
> and language that parents can understand. Clearly explain what
> methods, tools and processes will be used to communicate student
> progress to students' parents and families. The description should
> address as many of the following factors as possible:
>
> a\. The frequency and method of communicating the student's progress
> to parents.
>
> b\. How parents will be involved in creating a timetable for achieving
> student's goals.
>
> c\. How to cooperate with parents to accommodate their work schedules.
>
> d\. How to resolve any potential conflicts with parents.
>
> e\. Expectations for parental involvement.
>
> f\. How to train staff to work with parents.
>
> g\. How to provide information to parents in languages other than
> English.
>
> **7. Qualifications of Instructional Staff**
>
> Applications will be evaluated based on the extent to which they offer
> evidence of qualified staff and demonstrate a commitment to ongoing
> professional development and improvement of the applicants' own
> products and services. The teacher quality standards of the *No Child
> Left Behind Act* do not apply to providers of supplemental services.
>
> Applicants may use the following as sources of evidence of qualified
> staff: the amount and quality of training provided to program staff;
> years and level of work experience, particularly in working with Title
> I students; highest degree attained; and/or certification of staff.
>
> **8. Financial and Organizational Stability**
>
> Applications will be evaluated based on whether they offer evidence of
> the organization's capacity to deliver high-quality services over
> time.
>
> a\. Submit evidence demonstrating that the organization is financially
> sound. Such evidence may include: a description of how the
> organization currently receives funds (such as grants,
> fees-for-service, etc.); audited financial statements; credit ratings
> from an independent rating agency; organizational budgets; and/or
> proof of liability insurance (include company name and policy number,
> or a copy of the policy cover page).
>
> b\. Submit evidence demonstrating that the organization has a sound
> management structure. Describe the leadership of the organization.
> Evidence may include business plans or profiles and a strategic plan
> or mission statement that outlines the organization's commitment to
> the education achievement of children.
>
> **9. Compliance with federal, state and local health and safety
> standards and civil rights laws.**
>
> Applications will be judged on the extent to which they comply with
> federal, state and local health and safety standards and civil rights
> laws. The application should indicate the organization's compliance
> with local health and safety laws.
>
> Under the *No Child Left Behind Act*, a supplemental educational
> services provider must meet all applicable federal, state and local
> civil rights laws (as well as health and safety laws). With respect to
> federal civil rights laws, most apply generally to "recipients of
> federal financial assistance." These laws include Title VI of the
> Civil Rights Act of 1964 (discrimination on the basis of race and
> national origin), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
> (discrimination on the basis of sex), Section 504 of the
> Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) (discrimination on the basis
> of disability), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (discrimination
> on the basis of age).
>
> A supplemental educational services provider, merely by being a
> provider, is not a recipient of federal financial assistance. As a
> result, the above-referenced federal civil rights laws are not
> directly applicable to a provider unless the provider otherwise
> receives federal financial assistance for other purposes.
>
> The provisions of two federal civil rights laws, however, may apply to
> supplemental educational services providers despite the fact that a
> provider is not a "recipient of federal financial assistance." Title
> II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) would apply to
> public entities, but not private entities, that provide supplemental
> educational services. Under Title III of the ADA, which is enforced by
> the U.S. Department of Justice, private providers that are places of
> public accommodation (except for religious entities) must make
> reasonable modifications to their policies, practices, and procedures
> to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of disability, unless to do
> so would fundamentally alter the nature of the program. Likewise,
> these providers must take those steps necessary to ensure that
> students with disabilities are not denied services or excluded because
> of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless taking those
> steps would fundamentally alter the nature of services or would result
> in an undue burden (such as significant difficulty or expense). In
> addition, an entity that employs 15 or more employees is subject to
> Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits
> discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion,
> sex or national origin, except that Title VII does not apply to the
> employment of individuals of a particular religion by a religious
> organization.
>
> All the federal civil rights laws, however, apply to SEAs and LEAs, as
> recipients of federal financial assistance. As such, SEAs and LEAs
> have the responsibility for ensuring that there is no discrimination
> in their supplemental educational services programs.
>
> **What is the responsibility of the local education agency in
> providing supplemental educational services*?***
>
> LEA responsibilities focus on notifying parents about the availability
> of supplemental educational services, arranging for the services to be
> provided, and monitoring the services for the purpose of improving
> academic achievement. Specifically, an LEA must:
>
> 1\. Notify parents about the availability of services, at least
> annually;
>
> 2\. Help parents choose a provider, if requested;
>
> 3\. Determine which students should receive services if not all
> students can be served;
>
> 4\. Enter into an agreement with a provider selected by the parents of
> an eligible student;
>
> 5\. Assist the SEA in identifying potential providers within the LEA;
>
> 6\. Provide the information the SEA needs to monitor the quality and
> effectiveness of the services offered by providers; and
>
> 7\. Protect the privacy of students who receive supplemental
> educational services.
>
> **What must be included in the agreement with the provider?**
>
> After parents select a provider for a child, the LEA must enter into
> an agreement with the provider that includes the following:

1.  Specific achievement goals for the student, which must be developed
    in consultation with the student's parents;

2.  A description of how the student's progress will be measured and how
    the student's parents and teachers will be regularly informed of
    that progress;

3.  A timetable for improving the student's achievement;

4.  A provision for termination of the agreement if the provider fails
    to meet student progress goals;

5.  Provisions governing payment for the services;

6.  A provision prohibiting the provider from disclosing to the public
    the identity of any student eligible for or receiving supplemental
    educational services without the written permission of the student's
    parents; and

7.  An assurance that supplemental educational services will be provided
    consistent with applicable civil rights laws.

> The LEA is encouraged to use cost-effective methods in designing this
> agreement and fulfilling this obligation. For instance, the district
> may want to design a generic agreement that can be tailored to a
> particular student and provider. Also, existing assessments could be
> used by the LEA to measure student progress.

Faith-based and community organizations have the potential to play a
vital role in the U.S. Department of Education's efforts to see that all
children have access to a high-quality education. We hope that your
organization will heed this call and help close the achievement gap. If
you have any questions or experience any inappropriate resistance to
your participation, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We
would also like to hear about your successes in improving the academic
achievement of disadvantaged students. Thank you for working with us to
ensure that no child is left behind.

**MAINE:**

Maine is presently analyzing the data from its 2001-2002 assessments. It
appears that only one school in the state will have to provide
supplemental services this year. The state will determine if it wants to
release an RFP for one school or seek out and approve providers via a
simpler process.
