States struggle to monitor SES providers
Most states are struggling to monitor the impact of tutoring and remediation available to students in schools sanctioned by No Child Left Behind, according to a report released last week by the Center on Education Policy in Washington, D.C.
Twelve percent of all Title 1 districts representing 12.5 million students were required to offer supplemental services in 2005-06, according to CEP.
North Carolina is not mentioned specificically in the report, but we ran a story in December about the state hiring the Center for Research in Education Policy in Tennessee to evaluate about 50 tutoring companies. School board members here have complained about the district's lack of authority in evaluating these companies.

Is there a report available regarding the evaluation of the tutoring companies and what, if anything, will be done to assist children, using the tutoring companies?
Were there any particular companies more conducive to the needs of our children ... and most importantly, who decides?

I didn't see anything in the N&R about the opt out schools and Thursday's Board of Ed meeting. Did I miss it? I saw the article in the HPE.

GCSMom,
I did a story a couple weeks ago about the opt-outs; the board of education has met twice this month to discuss this and Thursday was the most recent meeting. I also posted the opt-out schools on this blog earlier this month as well.

Morgan,
At the last meeting of BOE (special meeting) were there any changes in the choices of opt-out?
