Title II, Part A – Calculating Equitable Services

Calculating Equitable Services Proportional Share for Private Schools.

The amount a local educational agency (LEA) must reserve to provide equitable services for eligible private school teachers and other educational personnel for Title II, Part A services is based on the LEA’s total Title II, Part A allocation, less administrative costs. The LEA determines the amount of funds available for Title II, Part A equitable services for private school teachers and other educational personnel by calculating, on a per-pupil basis, the amount available for all public and private school students enrolled in participating private elementary and secondary schools in areas served by the LEA (regardless of a student’s residency), taking into consideration the number and needs of the children, their teachers, and other educational personnel to be served.

Example of Formula to Determine Amount for Title II, Part A Equitable Expenditures
A. Number of Students
Number of Students Enrollment
A1: LEA Enrollment 900
A2: Participating Private Schools Enrollment 100
A3: Total Enrollment (A1 + A2) 1,000
B. Title II, Part A Allocation
Title II, Part A Allocation Amount
B1: Total LEA Allocation $1,000,000
B2: Administrative Costs (for public and private school programs) $50,000
B3: LEA Allocation Minus Admin Costs (B1-B2) $950,000
C. Per Pupil Rate
Per Pupil Rate Amount
C1: Available Per Pupil Allocation (B3 ÷ A3) $950
D. Equitable Services
