CEPI - Title I Supplemental Educational Services

School districts will no longer be required to implement SES in identified buildings effective with the 2012-2013 school year.

The Michigan Department of Education's (MDE) request to the U.S. Department of Education for a waiver of requirements established by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, was approved on July 19, 2012. This flexibility approval will allow local school districts more freedom in how they use some of their federal Title I, Part A, and other federal funds to improve student achievement and close achievement gaps; recognize schools that are meeting or exceeding achievement goals; ensure students have effective educators in their schools; and include in the school accountability scorecard: science, social studies, and writing, in addition to the NCLB-required math and English language arts. Additional information about the approved MDE ESEA Flexibility Waiver may be found on the MDE website.
