    In March of 2011 the Vermont Department of Education identified eight BSD schools as not making AYP in one or more areas. These identified schools are: Burlington High School, Champlain Elementary, C.P. Smith Elementary, Edmunds Middle School, Hunt Middle School, Integrated Arts Academy, J.J. Flynn Elementary, and Sustainability Academy.

    As a result, these schools are required to provide Supplemental Educational Services - extra academic assistance/tutoring to improve eligible students' academic performance - free of charge.
