Equitable Services for Non-Profit Private Schools

  •  

    The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) includes Participation by Private School Children and Teachers as defined under Section 1117 and Section 8501, Participation by Private School Children and Teachers (under Uniform Provisions Subpart 1, Private Schools).

    Purpose

    To help ensure such equity for private school children, teachers, and other educational personnel, the State educational agency involved shall designate an ombudsman to monitor and enforce the requirements of this part pursuant to the ESSA Section 1117(a)(3)(B).

    To ensure timely and meaningful consultation, a local educational agency (LEA) shall consult with appropriate private school officials during the design and development of such agency’s programs under this part. Such agency and private school officials shall both have the goal of reaching agreement on how to provide equitable and effective programs for eligible private school children, the results of which agreement shall be transmitted to the ombudsman designated under subsection (a)(3)(B) pursuant to the ESSA Section 1117(b)(1).

    To help ensure equitable services are provided to private school children, teachers, and other educational personnel under this section, the State educational agency involved shall direct the ombudsman designated by the agency under Section 1117 to monitor and enforce the requirements of this section. According to the ESSA sections 8501(a)(3)(B); 8501(b)(1); and 34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 299.6, this section applies to programs under—

    • Title I, Part A;
    • Title I, Part C;
    • Title II, Part A;
    • Title III, Part A;
    • Title IV, Part A;
    • Title IV, Part B; and
    • section 4631, with regard to the Project School Emergency Response to Violence Program (Project SERV)

    The Equitable Services Ombudsman Frequently Asked Questions are intended to help LEAs, and other stakeholders, understand the statutory requirements for statewide equitable services for eligible students attending nonprofit private elementary and secondary schools under Title I, Part A of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA.
