Data Collection Purpose
To report LEA required reservations before distributing funds to schools, and to calculate and report nonprofit private school set-aside values.
Guidance
The reservations for:
- Parent Involvement
- PI Schools and LEA
- Homeless Children
are for activities or services that constitute professional development for staff and direct services to students only.
The reservations for:
- Local Institutions for Neglected Children
- Local Institutions for Delinquent Children
- Neglected or Delinquent Children in Community Day School Programs
are for direct services as well as indirect services to eligible Title I, Part A, students.
Because the reservation of funds by an LEA, unless required by law, will reduce the funds available for distribution to school sites, the LEA must consult with teachers, pupil services personnel (where appropriate), principals, and parents of children in participating schools to determine the amount of funds needed to be reserved. This issue must also be part of the consultation with private school officials.
Equitable participation of private schools does not apply to funds reserved for program improvement activities.
