Resources to Provide
Tutoring to Children in California
Under President George W. Bush's
No Child Left Behind Act,
faith-based and community organizations
are eligible to receive federal funds to
provide extra academic help to students
in certain schools that need
improvement. These supplemental
educational services are additional
academic instruction designed to
increase the academic achievement of
students in low-performing schools.
Services must be provided outside of the
regular school day and may include
academic assistance such as tutoring,
remediation, and other educational
interventions.
Providers of supplemental services
may include nonprofit entities,
for-profit entities, local educational
agencies, public schools, public charter
schools, private schools, public or
private institutions of higher
education, and faith-base d
organizations. Organizations must apply
to state departments of education to
become an approved provider. The funding
f or this program is not a grant, but
organizations receive a fee-for-service
through a contract with local school
district s.
The deadline to apply to
become an approved supplemental services
provider in California is March 11,
2008.
