Student and Tutor

School Choice

If a child attends a Title I school that has been designated by the state to be in need of improvement, parents can choose to send the child to another public school. Districts must let parents know each year if their child is eligible to transfer to another school, and districts must give parents at least two transfer schools to choose from. Additionally districts must pay for students' transportation costs, giving priority to low-income, low-achieving students if there are not enough funds available to pay for all students. For more information about school choice contact the Office of Funded Programs: 651-632-3790.

Supplemental Educational Services (SES)

Supplemental educational services (SES) are free tutoring services that must be offered to low-income children who attend a Title I school that fails to make progress for three years (in its second year of “school improvement status”). Low-income students are generally those who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These services offer students extra help in academic subjects such as reading, language arts, and mathematics. SES services are provided outside the regular school day—before or after school, on weekends, or in the summer.
