Under the NCLB Act, schools that fail to meet their adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets for three consecutive years are required to offer students from low-income families supplemental services, tutoring, remediation or other educational interventions. Such services must be offered outside of the regular school day and must be designed to enhance student achievement. States are required to approve providers of supplemental services, both public school districts and private organizations, and monitor their services.
