Supplemental Education Services
Under the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, chronically, low achieving schools are mandated to provide the opportunity for state funded tutoring to low-income students in failing schools. Wilkes-Barre Area School District has three such schools: Boyd Dodson Elementary School, Heights-Murray Elementary School and G. A. R. Memorial Junior Senior High School. The district provides a provider fair to facilitate parents' contacting tutoring providers.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or services:
“‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
