  1. Private School Equitable Services

  2. Private School Participation • The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires equitable services to be provided to private schools. • Why? Federal programs are supported by tax dollars, therefore all children and teachers are eligible to access these programs.

  3. Notification of Opportunity to Participate • The school district must notify the private school of the opportunity . • Best Practice: • The private school can complete and submit a consultation form. • KDE has developed a template that districts may use during the consultation process. It’s located on the KDE website.

  4. Consultation Process Consultation is a collaborative process between the Title II, Part A coordinator and the private school official(s)

  5. Private School Equitable Services Application • Identifies professional learning (PL) needs • Addresses how the needs are identified • Outlines the professional learning activities

  12. Record Keeping • The school district shall maintain the following documents for their records: • Notification letter • Consultation and planning process • Assessment of needs • Evaluation of the program

  13. Determination of the Amount for Equitable Services • A formula is used to determine private school services based on an equitable per pupil rate. • The district must reserve no less than this amount of their Title II Part A grant. • This formula determines an amount for budgeting purposes and should not be viewed as an allocation.
