NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND

No Child Left Behind is the new education plan that was signed into law by President Bush on January 8, 2002.  It changes the federal government's role in grades K-12 education by asking schools that receive federal Title 1 money to describe their success in terms of what each student accomplishes.

Supplemental Educational Services

Under the No Child Left Behind Act low income children enrolled in public schools classified as “in need of improvement” can receive free supplemental educational services (SES), including tutoring, after school services, and summer school programs.
