Supplemental Educational Services

As part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, any school that is in Year Two of Improvement, Restructuring, or in Corrective Action must offer supplemental educational services (SES) to eligible children from a provider approved by the Maryland State Department of Education and selected by the parents [Section 1116(e)(1)].

Supplemental educational services are free tutoring and other educational interventions that target students from low-income families in Title I Schools in need of Improvement.              

SES goals include:

  • Ensuring that students increase their academic achievement, particularly in the areas of reading/language arts and mathematics
  • Providing options to parents to help them ensure that their children receive a quality education
  • Providing incentives to schools to improve schools in need of improvement

Maryland is proud of its progress to provide this opportunity to our children.  Maryland enjoys a 71% participation rate, while the national average for participants is about 15% to 19%.

MSDE's Advertisement Policy/Providers' Approved Ads

To address continuing incidents and concerns regarding the offering of expensive incentives, beginning in the 2008-2009 school year, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) introduced a new policy that requires SES providers to obtain prior approval of all advertisements they plan to distribute during the school year, including summer sessions, when applicable.  MSDE is reviewing advertisements also to assure that all information disseminated adheres to applicable laws and public policies.

MSDE is posting approved advertisements so that members of the public and school personnel can help monitor compliance with this policy.  Anyone who sees advertisements other than the ones approved can report this to MSDE by emailing mcross@msde.state.md.us or by calling (410) 767-0281. 

Click the link below to view the approved ads for each SES provider.
