Applied Scholastics no longer receiving money from the state of Ohio

"The Supplemental Educational Services (SES) list is now out for each
state. SES is tax-payer paid free tutoring program paying the service
providers between $30-$80 per hours per student in public education.
The "tutors" do not have to be credentialled. This is one of Bush's
faith-based programs for public education and it is still active.

"There used to be 12-15 states that included Applied Scholastics in
its lists (going back to 2003) but now there are only 8 states:
California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and
Washington. According to the data that I have, Florida, Georgia, New
Jersey and Ohio have all dropped Applied Scholastics from their
approved provider lists for 2009-2010. I have asked people to double-
check Florida.

"Currently, the three California human trafficking cases against SCN
are going through the federal court system and looks like they will
prevail against SCN. We do not know the impact against A.B.L.E. or
any of its components (such as AS) if the plaintiffs are successful in
these law-suits. I am surmising that there will be more lawsuits, if
even one of these three are successful, and that people who used to be
employed by A.B.L.E. and even A.S. may file similar labor lawsuits in
California and other states.

"Obviously, public education does not want to be associated with any
organization that has been convicted in civil or criminal courts of
having anything to do with "human trafficking." "
