Family and Community Relationships
Question 1: Discuss a School in Need of Improvement as defined in the No Child Left Behind Act.
Answer 1: This is the term No Child Left Behind uses to refer to schools receiving Title I funds that have not met state reading and math goals (AYP) for at least two years. If a child's school is labeled a school in need of improvement, it receives extra help to improve and the child has the option to transfer to another public school, including a public charter school. Also, your child may be eligible to receive free tutoring and extra help with schoolwork. Contact your child's school district to find out if your child qualifies.
There are lots of good resources about Family that you can find available.

Answer 2: Supplemental Educational Services is the term which the No Child Left Behind Act uses to refer to the tutoring and extra help with schoolwork in subjects such as reading and math that children from low-income families may be eligible to receive. This help is provided free of charge and generally takes place outside the regular school day, such as after school or during the summer.
