Frequently Asked Questions...

What is SES?
SES is Supplemental Educational Services.  If a school does not meet the target goal of achievement for two consecutive years, under No Child Left Behind Law (NCLB) the school district

must offer "free tutoring" to qualifying students who attend that school.   

 

Tutoring is free to the qualifying students, yet is paid for by the school district's

Title 1 Federal Funding.

 

Who may provide the tutoring?  
Private companies such as Jump Into Math, Inc. must adhere to rigorous guidelines as set forth by the California Department of Education (CDE).  The application process to become a "State Approved Provider" requires each company to meet various criteria to be granted approval on a two year cycle.  Within the last cycle of applications, one third of the applicants were denied.   Once approved, the company is listed on the website:
