When Joyce Hackett, Director of the SES program, was asked about the exorbitant prices charged by vendors on September 10, 2010, she made the following comments on video, "They all get together and charge $70, $80, $90 an hour." She further admitted, "They're not charging the parents; they're billing the school district for those outrageous hours. That's why they submit the Claim for Consultant. We're just funneling the NCLB money back to them."
SES providers do not typically charge $70+ an hour. If they do, the district needs to require a minimum number hours or a max rate. Most SES tutoring providers charge $40-$55 an hour. I own and operate a SES in-home tutoring business in two states. I charge between $42 and $49 an hour. Working with SES students is much more time consuming than non-SES students, and there is much more overhead.

@Battle4DRepublic I believe you are correct. Take a visit to Justiceforkids website and run some word searches at my online journal page Chris King's First Amendment Page.
Peace.

I believe the term is "fair market value"...in this situation it appears that "price fixing" may also be a term that is applicable.
