State Compensatory Education (SCE) Program Overview and Coordination Considerations Vickie Ansley 9

Intent and Purpose of the SCE Program Programs and/or services designed to supplement the regular education program for identified at-risk students The goal for SCE is to reduce the disparity in performance on (a) the state assessment and (b) rates of high school completion between students at-risk of dropping out of school and all other district students. Expenses must directly impact students and cannot be used for parental involvement activities. 10
