(FRANKFORT, Ky.) – Groups and individuals who wish to become Supplemental Educational Services providers may apply for consideration beginning Thursday, March 20.
The application window for prospective providers will open on that day. Applicants may become approved to provide tutoring to some students in Kentucky public schools, depending on students’ eligibility. Eligible students are those who attend schools that are served by federal Title I (No Child Left Behind) funds and have not made adequate yearly progress for at least two consecutive years.
Local organizations that regularly provide services to students are encouraged to apply to become providers. There is a great need for providers in the state’s rural districts.
Tutoring can be in-home, online or in community centers, churches, schools or other locations. The services must be provided outside the regular school day, including before and after school, weekends and holidays.
Application forms and information will be available on the Kentucky Department of Education’s Web site here.
There are two opportunities scheduled to provide information and assistance with completing the application. An informational meeting will be held on Friday, April 4, in Elizabethtown at the Hardin County school district central office and a second session held on April 11 in Lexington at the Fayette County school district central office. Registration for these sessions is free.
Potential providers interested in either of these sessions should contact Annika Nicholson by e-mail at annika.nicholson@education.ky.gov or by phone at (502) 564-3791 to reserve space.
