Resources for Service Provider Applicants

During the application process, applicants are invited to submit an application and response to a "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ) (see below) to be reviewed by NYSED. After these RFQs have been reviewed, approved applicants will be placed in NYSED's "Approved Supplemental Educational Services Provider" (ASESP) catalog.

NEW An optional orientation session on SES and the NYSED application process is scheduled for:

Friday - November 6, 2009
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
New York State Education Department
55 Hanson Place, Room 416
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Directions to 55 Hanson Place

Registration for the morning and afternoon sessions are now full. When available, materials from the workshops will be posted.

There will be an additional, optional, informational session on general SES requirements, issues and concerns from 1:00-3:00 p.m. (in the same location as morning orientation)

Please note: We only have 50 slots open for each session, we are only allowing 2 reps from each company.

Interested applicants may register to attend at:
SESREG109@MAIL.NYSED.GOV (please include your Name, Organization, Address and e-mail address, and morning/afternoon session attending)

In addition, applicants should research the necessary legal documents required in the RFQ. Several of these legal documents involve a lengthy processing time. For more information, visit the New York State Education's Office of Counsel website at http://www.counsel.nysed.gov/

In November of 2008, US Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings finalized several new regulations that affect the implementation of SES. As prospective providers complete their applications, they should reflect upon and address applicable regulations in their technical proposals. The new regulations can be found on the USDOE website. external link icon

  • IMPORTANT: All SES Providers (current Providers as well as applicants) should note the following:

    • Supplemental Educational Services are supposed to be fully implemented at the beginning of the school year (see: US Secretary of Education Rod Paige's letter external link iconto Chief State School Officers, dated August 28, 2003).

    • A school district that has been designated as a Title I District in Need of Improvement may not be a Provider of Supplemental Educational Services.

    • According to the Differentiated Accountability Pilot, all Title I schools identified for improvement (Improvement, Corrective Action or Restructuring phase) must offer students supplemental educational services. Under NCLB regulations schools must determine their eligibility to offer services and report it to the Education Department. A public list of eligible Title I schools is available. The list contains Title I Status, and indicates which schools are identified for improvement.
