Consequences for Schools NOT in Good Standing<br />

School Choice and Supplemental <strong>Education</strong>al Services Under NCLB: <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>’s<br />

Differentiated Accountability Plan requires that students in schools receiving Title I funds that<br />

are designated for improvement, corrective action, or restructuring be provided with options to<br />

ensure that they have the opportunity to access a quality education. The options offered<br />

include supplemental educational services and public school choice.<br />

Each school district with a Title I school that has been designated for any phase of<br />

improvement must offer low-income students the opportunity to receive supplemental<br />

educational services from a provider approved by the <strong>State</strong>. Parents select from a list of<br />

approved providers who meet NYSED’s objective criteria and whose performance is<br />

monitored. The district must pay the cost for supplemental educational services. Each student<br />

who received supplemental educational services under this provision of NCLB in the current<br />

academic year must have a <strong>SIRS</strong> record recording this program service.<br />

Each school district with a Title I school in improvement (year 2), corrective action, or<br />

restructuring status must provide students, prior to the start of the school year, the opportunity<br />

to transfer to another public school in the district that has not been designated for<br />

improvement, corrective action, or restructuring. In providing the transfer option, the district<br />

must give priority to the lowest-achieving students from low-income families. The district must<br />

pay the cost of transportation for students participating in this option. Public school districts<br />

must provide records identifying students who have applied for and/or been offered transfers<br />

under this option, as well as identifying students who have transferred.<br />
