As parents, we often we struggle with what to say to our children in times like this.

PARENT NOTIFICATION
Discontinuation of NCLB Supplemental Education Services
In May, 2012 Ohio was granted a waiver from portions of the federal education law known as the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB). Under the waiver, Ohio’s public school districts, including Columbus City Schools, are no longer required to offer Supplemental Educational Services (SES) or Public School Choice (PSC).
While Columbus City Schools has discontinued offering tutorial intervention services under the SES program, the District will continue to provide options for students to choose a school other than their neighborhood school, through our School Choice Lottery Program. Use the link below to read the entire Notification and for details on what services will continue to be provided
