Tutoring will focus on mathematics, English and language arts
DALLAS—The Dallas Independent School District's Project Opportunity Program will begin offering free tutoring to 24 of its schools as the result of a grant under the No Child Left Behind Act.
Using resources allocated under the No Child Left Behind Act, Dallas ISD will offer supplemental educational services to students who attend a school that has missed Adequate Yearly Progress and are in their second, third, or fourth year of the School Improvement Program as set out by NCLB.
Free tutorial services will be provided throughout the school year through before and after-school and Saturday programs and during summer school. Project Opportunity will allow parents and their child to select tutorial services from a list of state-approved educational providers.
To sign up for the no-cost tutorial services, parents must complete an application, select a tutor or tutoring service from the list of state-approved providers and submit the application to their child's school principal.
For more information, contact the Dallas ISD Supplemental Educational Services Department at (972) 925-3634.
