Supplemental educational services.

(1) Existing federal law defines "supplemental educational services" as tutoring and other supplemental academic enrichment services that are provided in addition to instruction provided during the schoolday and are high quality, research-based, and specifically designed to increase academic achievement, as specified. Under federal law, local educational agencies, state educational agencies, and providers of supplemental educational services are required to comply with certain requirements relating to the administration of these supplemental educational services. This bill would require local educational agencies and supplemental educational service providers to comply with specified requirements relating to these supplemental educational services, including requirements relating to providing information to parents and guardians and enrollment of pupils in supplemental educational services. The bill would require local educational agencies to permit supplemental educational service providers access to school facilities if the local educational agency provides access to outside entities, except as specified. Because the bill would require local educational agencies to provide a higher level of service, it would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
