No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Law Tutoring Grant Program
Many Detroit Area students are eligible for free tutoring under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law, but less than 15% of them are getting it, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Your district is required to inform you whether your (or your child’s) school is a Title I school that is categorized as “in need of improvement” for two (2) consecutive years. A Title I school is in an attendance area where 35% or more students’ families are considered to be low income. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) also has this information.
Once a family chooses an approved tutoring service, the district contracts with and pays the service. This Supplemental Educational Services (SES) provider is required to set goals for your child in a meeting with you, your district and your child's teacher or principal, and then report your child's progress to all of you.
