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:
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
