The San Diego County Bar Foundation
Is a charitable arm of the San Diego County legal community, and in partnership with the San Diego County Bar Association, strives to provide access to justice by investing in sustainable results and advocacy for people and communities in our region that are impacted by poverty, abuse and discrimination. We do this by supporting, funding, and encouraging the creation of public service programs that support the ideals of justice by delivering legal services, improving the administration of justice and promoting public understanding of the law. Since our founding, we have donated more than $1.5 million to more than 30 legal aid and public interest organizations and grown our Board restricted endowment to more than $1.4 million.

Supplemental Educational Services (SES) are academic tutoring services focused on English-language arts, mathematics and/or science (added with this application to establish Cohort 2009), and provided by entities approved by the State Board of Education (SBE) to tutor students beyond the regular school day. The SES provider must have a two-year demonstrated record of effectiveness in increasing student academic proficiency through tutoring services provided beyond the school day and in the subject(s) identified in the application. The SBE-approved provider works with designated local educational agencies (LEAs) to provide tutoring services for eligible students (from Program Improvement schools and low-income families) in mathematics, science, and English-language arts. Parents select the SES provider. SES shall be research-based, consistent with the state content standards and state-approved instructional materials adopted by the LEA, and assessed with valid and reliable assessments.
