2021–22 Title II/Title III Nonprofit Participation
Consolidated Application Winter Release data entry instructions for the 2021–22 Title II, Part A / Title III Nonprofit Private School Participation data collection form.Data Collection Purpose
The local educational agency (LEA) must offer to provide equitable services that address the needs of nonprofit private school students, teachers, and other educational personnel under the programs listed. This completed data collection form, along with the LEA’s records of contact and consultation, will serve to document that the nonprofit private schools were contacted and made decisions regarding whether to participate in Title II, Part A (Teacher Quality), Title III English Learner and/or Title III Immigrant Student Programs.
Note: This data collection will not display if the LEA did not apply for Title II or Title III funding and/or is not assigned an allocation amount, is a county office of education or direct funded charter, or did not complete the Nonprofit Private School Consultation form. The option to add nonprofit private schools to an LEA’s school grid can only be done via the Nonprofit Private School Consultation form.
Program Information
Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as Amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act: Providing Equitable Services to Eligible Private School Children, Teachers, and Families 
(PDF) federal guidance on the U.S. Department of Education web document, outlines mandated consultation between LEAs and eligible private schools.
The LEA records should include dates of contact, persons contacted, and the results of such contacts with each nonprofit private school or Nonpublic, Nonsectarian School. These records should document both the participating nonprofit private schools and those choosing not to participate in ESEA services.
It is expected that districts engaged in private school consultation verify nonprofit status and the accuracy of student enrollment data if it is being used for the purpose of providing equitable services.
