In May 2012, North Carolina was granted flexibility waivers from many of the No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) provisions. This flexibility, granted by the U.S. Department of Education, makes significant
changes to North Carolina’s implementation of Elementary and Secondary Education Act’s (ESEA)
requirements especially in the areas of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), parent notifications, public
school choice and Supplemental Educational Services (SES). These waivers will allow North Carolina’s
public school system to move forward with strengthened College- and Career-Ready expectations for
all students, new ways to hold Title I schools accountable for students' academic proficiency, and new
initiatives to support effective instruction and leadership.
Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, local education agencies (LEAs) are no longer required to identify Title I schools for improvement, corrective action, and restructuring and are no longer required to take certain improvement actions as outlined in ESEA section 1116(b) such as offering public school choice and supplemental educational services (SES).
Although the administration of SES under provisions of Section 1116(b) of ESEA will no longer be required, districts may choose to continue to implement before- and after-school tutoring services with State-approved SES providers. For that reason, NC will maintain the current list of State-approved SES providers through 2014-15 through a renewal process. Additionally, all State-approved SES providers will continue to be subject to monitoring and evaluation requirements as outlined in State Board Policy.
