Title I Schools and No Child Left Behind (NCLB)/Schools In Need of Assistance (SINA) or District In Needs of Assistance (DINA)
Under NCLB, public school districts and public schools must report the academic progress of all students in grades 3 to 8 and 11. The data is also reported by subgroups of students and their test participation rates in the subject areas of reading and mathematics. The average daily attendance (ADA) rates of public K – 8 students and public high school graduation rates are the additional indicators for public school districts.
If a school does not meet the annual yearly progress (AYP) state participation goals or state AYP in reading or mathematics on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills or Iowa Tests of Educational Development in either the “all students” group or any one of the subgroups for two consecutive years, it is designated as a school in need of assistance, which is also referred to as SINA .
If a district does not meet the annual AYP state participation goals or state AYP in reading or mathematics on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills or Iowa Tests of Educational Development in either the “all students” group or any one of the subgroups within the required grade spans (3-5, 6-8, and 11) in the same subject area (either reading or mathematics) for two consecutive years, it shall be identified as a district in need of assistance, which is also referred to as DINA. If a district does not meet the goals for district level K -8 average daily attendance rate and high school graduation rate for two consecutive years, it also shall be identified as a district in need of assistance.

School Choice
When are children eligible for school choice?
Children are eligible for school choice when the Title I school they attend has not made adequate yearly progress in improving student achievement--- as defined by the state--for two consecutive years or longer and is therefore identified as needing improvement. Any child attending such a school must be offered the option of transferring to a public school in the district not identified for school improvement, unless such an option is prohibited by state law. No Child Left Behind requires that priority in providing school choice be given to the lowest achieving children from low-income families.

Supplemental Educational Services
SCCSD Supplemental Service Information
State Approved List of Providers
What are supplemental educational services?
Supplemental educational services are additional academic instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of students in schools that have not met State targets for increasing student achievement (adequate yearly progress) for three or more years. These services may include tutoring and after-school services. They may be offered through public- or private-sector providers that are approved by the state, such as public schools, public charter schools, local education agencies, educational service agencies and faith-based organizations. Private-sector providers may be either nonprofit or for-profit entities. States must maintain a list of approved providers across the state organized by the school district or districts they serve, from which parents may select. States must also promote maximum participation by supplemental educational services providers to ensure that parents have as many choices as possible.
When are children eligible to receive supplemental educational services?
Students from low-income families who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet state standards for at least three years are eligible to receive supplemental educational services.
Are parents notified about supplemental educational services?
Yes. Local education agencies are required to provide annual notice to parents of eligible children about the availability of services and information on the approved providers.
Can parents choose providers for tutoring and other supplemental educational services?
Yes, parents of eligible children can choose from the list of state-approved providers. Most states have approved a diverse list of providers, as mentioned above. Upon request, the local education agency will help parents determine which provider would best fit their child's needs. When parents have made their selection, the local education agency must then contract with that provider to deliver the services.
