Abstract	The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA) requires districts with schools that have not met state performance goals for 3 consecutive years to offer their low-income students supplemental educational services (SES), such as tutoring, if these schools receive Title I funds. SES are provided outside of the regular school day by a state-approved provider, with responsibility for implementation shared by states and districts. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined: (1) how SES participation changed between school years 2003-2004 and 2004-2005; (2) how SES providers are working with districts to deliver SES; (3) how states are monitoring and evaluating SES; and (4) how the Department of Education (Education) monitors and supports state implementation of SES. To collect data on SES, GAO surveyed all states and a nationally representative sample of districts with schools required to offer SES. Also, 4 school districts were visited, and 22 SES providers were interviewed. SES-related research was reviewed, and Education staff were interviewed. GAO recommended that Education disseminate information on promising practices used to improve SES implementation, provide states with technical assistance to improve evaluation of SES's effect on student achievement, and expand program flexibility where appropriate. Education generally supported GAO's recommendations. Appended are: (1) Scope and Methodology; (2) Comments from the Department of Education; and (3) GAO Contacts and Staff Acknowledgments.
