If your district attendance boundaries include a nonpublic
school or schools, the nonpublic school teachers, principals,
and other educational personnel are eligible to participate
in activities funded by Title II, Part A to the extent the
public school district uses funds to provide professional
development for teachers and others. A nonpublic school may
elect not to participate, may elect to participate in
professional development with the LEA, or may elect to
receive professional development from the AEA.
If the LEA is going to use all or part of Title II, Part A
funding for professional development, it must consult with
appropriate accredited nonpublic school officials during the
design, development, and implementation of the professional
development program. The LEA must determine the specific
amount of funds to support activities for the nonpublic by
the formula described below.
If the LEA is going to use Title II, Part A funds for
professional development, but the nonpublic elects not to
participate with the LEA, the funding must be transferred
from the LEA to the AEA. The AEA will then provide the
professional development activities for the nonpublic
school. Whether the LEA or the AEA is providing the
professional development activities, the LEA must set aside
a portion of the funding to pay for those activities for the
nonpublic school according to the following formula:
- Take the amount necessary for administrative
costs off the top of the allocation, THEN determine the
distribution for non-public schools, as follows...
- Identify the amount of funds allocated to and used by
both the LEAs (public and nonpublic) for professional
development activities that were funded by the Eisenhower
and the Class Size Reduction programs, 2001-2002.
- Divide that amount by the total 2001-2002) student
population (include both public and nonpublic LEAs).
This amount is the per pupil amount your LEA spent in
2001-2002 for professional development for the Eisenhower
and Class size Reduction programs.
- Multiply the figure by the 2001-2002 non-public school
student population.
- The resulting amount of funds should be the amount used
to provide professional development activities for the
nonpublic school in 2002-2003.
- All nonpublic schools must receive professional
development services in 2002-2003 from the Title II,
Part A public school district allocations regardless
of whether the LEA chooses to use any of the funds for
professional development for its teachers and others.
IF the LEA chooses not to use any of the funds for
professional development, then the nonpublic amount would
be at the minimum determined in item “e)” above.
- See Title IX, section 9501 (b)(3)(B) of ESEA in
regard to equitable services for nonpublic schools.
Only the professional development activities under Title II,
Part A are subject to the nonpublic school participation
requirements referenced above. No funds are distributed
directly to the nonpublic schools.
