Wanted: Supplemental
service providers
To meet the requirements
of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the South Dakota Department of Education
approves supplemental service providers on an annual basis. Requests for
proposals for supplemental educational service providers are being accepted
April 1-May 13.
Eligible service providers may include: community agencies, private schools,
individuals, child-care centers, libraries, universities, private companies,
faith-based organizations, after-school programs and other entities.
Providers offer academic instruction outside of the regular school day.
Instruction will be primarily in the areas of reading and math, in order to help
students achieve the state’s content standards in those areas. Supplemental
services must be of high quality, research-based and designed to increase the
academic achievement of eligible children.
As part of NCLB, any school in level 2, 3, 4 or 5 of School Improvement must
arrange for the provision of supplemental educational services from a provider
with a demonstrated record of effectiveness or a high probability of success.
The providers must be approved by the state education agency.
Requests for Proposals are
due by May 13, 5 p.m. (CDT). The Department of Education will approve providers
by July 1.
