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.
