More parents signing kids up for free tutoring - The Item - South Carolina:
"As part of the No Child Left Behind Act, free private tutoring has been offered as a supplemental educational service since the 2002-03 school year for students living in poverty who attend schools that don't make the grade.
Sumter School District 17 Title 1 Coordinator Suzanne Wates said the number of parents opting for academic tutoring has increased in the district, with 240 students receiving tutoring in last school year.
Not all students are eligible.
They must receive free or reduced-price lunch and be enrolled in a Title 1 school that has failed to make 'adequate yearly progress' for three consecutive years and has been identified as being 'in need of improvement' under the federal education law.
Parents are the decision makers. They decide if they want the tutoring for the children, and they determine who provides it. School districts are required to provide a list of the state-approved service providers to qualifying children and their families."
