Which program provides tutoring and extra educational services to low-income students?

• A. CAPTA
• B. SES
• C. FERPA
• D. AYP

Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding of a program that provides tutoring and extra educational services to students from low-income families. Supplemental Educational Services, or SES, is the program designed for that purpose. Under the No Child Left Behind framework, SES offered eligible low-income students tutoring and additional academic support outside the regular school day to help them meet state standards. The other terms refer to different concepts: CAPTA relates to child protection, FERPA protects the privacy of students’ education records, and AYP is a measure of whether schools are meeting annual academic progress, not a tutoring program.
