7 NCLB School Choice The district must: Notify parents/guardians in writing of the option to exercise choice at least 14 days prior to the start of the school year. Give parents of all students enrolled in Title I schools identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring the choice of two schools in the district that do have an NCLB Accountability Status to which such parents may transfer their children. Choices may include: Non-Title I schools that are not identified for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring. Choices must include non-Title I schools if less than two Title I schools not identified for improvement, in corrective action, or in restructuring are available as transfer options.

8 NCLB School Choice (Continued) The notification must: Be in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand format and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand; Inform parents that their child is eligible to attend another public school due to the identification of the current school as in need of improvement; Describe the districts policy for funding choice- related transportation costs. Name each public school that the parent can select; Include information on the academic achievement of the schools that the parent may select; and Include an explanation of why the choices made available to parents may have been limited. This includes information as to why no choice options may be available, both in and out of the district.

9 NCLB School Choice (Continued) Additional Information NCLB School Choice notices may be incorporated into other back-to-school communications if appropriate. If necessary, districts may prioritize students with low student performance from low-income families who wish to transfer. To the extent practicable, districts must inform parents/guardians of arrangements with neighboring districts to accept students who wish to transfer under NCLB if the district cannot offer choice options within the district at the appropriate grade level(s). Districts are required to maintain documentation of attempts to enter into arrangements with neighboring districts and make that documentation available for review by parents/guardians or the Department. NCLB Choice does not apply to charter schools or regional vocational technical schools; however, parents must still be notified in writing that because their childs school is a school of choice, they have the option of sending their child to another school.

10 Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Districts must make supplemental educational services (free tutoring in the areas of math, reading, language arts, and science) available to low-income students in Title I schools identified for improvement (year 2), corrective action, or restructuring from a provider approved by the Department. Parents of eligible students must be informed in writing at the beginning of the school year of the accountability status of the school and of the availability of services for their child. This notification must: Be in a comprehensive, easy-to-understand format and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand; Identify each approved service provider in or near the district able to serve; Describe the services, qualifications and evidence of effectiveness for each provider; Describe the procedures and timelines parents must follow in selecting a provider, including contact information; and Prioritize eligible students with low student performance if needed.

11 Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Arranging for Services At the beginning of the year, parents/guardians of eligible students are notified by the district of the availability of SES, along with a list of providers approved by the Department to serve the district and information about the enrollment process. Parents/guardians may select any approved provider that they feel will best meet their childs academic needs. If requested by the parent/guardian, the district should provide assistance in selecting the appropriate provider for a student. With parental input, the district will then develop an SES Student Learning Plan with the provider, and the provider will provide services to the child and report on the childs progress to the parents and to the district. A list of approved providers and a search tool for finding providers by district, subject area, grade, or keyword may be accessed from

13 Funding for Choice-related Transportation and SES Each school district must reserve up to an amount equal to 20 percent of its Title I, Part A allocation. Depending on demand, the district should expect to spend: An amount equal to 5 percent for choice-related transportation; An amount equal to 5 percent to provide SES; and An amount equal to the remaining 10 percent for choice-related transportation, SES, or both, as the district determines. An amount equal to means that the funds required to pay the costs of choice-related transportation and SES need not come from Title I, Part A allocations, but may be provided from other Federal, State, local, and private sources. A district may spend an amount exceeding 20 percent of its Title I, Part A allocation if additional funds are needed to meet all demands for choice-related transportation and SES. The district may spend up to 1 percent of its 20 percent obligation on parent outreach and assistance.
