TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PAPER (TAP) RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT,
IMPLEMENTATION, AND EVALUATION OF PARENT DISTRICT PROVIDER
AGREEMENTS FOR STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, signed into law in January 2002, amended the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and includes the vast majority of federal
programs and funding that affect K12 education. The most significant amendments focus
attention and resources on improving low-performing schools and providing access for all
students to high quality education. NCLB provides low-income parents whose children attend
supplemental educational services (SES) to expand options for their children who are struggling
in school. These services provide students with extra help in reading, language arts, and
mathematics.
NCLB requires each school district to enter into an agreement with the state-approved SES
provider selected by the parents in the district. This agreement or Parent District Provider
Agreement (PDPA) must be developed in consultation with the student’s parents.

Please find attached a technical assistance paper (TAP) developed by Department staff to
provide school and district personnel and SES providers with information essential to the
development, implementation, and evaluation of a student’s PDPA. The TAP identifies those
components of the PDPA for which school district personnel and SES providers have respective
responsibility and provides information and suggestions for completing and implementing those
components as required by NCLB.
If you have questions or need additional information regarding the PDPA, please contact our
office. Thank you for your continued leadership to Florida’s goal to ensure that all students
have access to the highest quality educational program.
