Private School Equitable Services
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires equitable services to be provided to private schools.
Why? Federal programs are supported by tax dollars, therefore all children and teachers are eligible to access these programs.

Private School Participation
The school district must notify the private school of the opportunity .
Best Practice: The private school can complete and submit
a consultation form. KDE has developed a template that
districts may use during the consultation process. It’s located on the KDE website.
Notification of Opportunity to Participate

Consultation is a collaborative process between the Title II, Part A coordinator and the private school official(s)
Consultation Process
Identifies professional learning (PL) needs
Addresses how the needs are identified

Evaluation
The school district shall maintain the following documents for their records:
Notification letter
Consultation and planning process
Assessment of needs
Evaluation of the program
Record Keeping
A formula is used to determine private school services based on an equitable per pupil rate.
The district must reserve no less than this amount of their Title II Part A grant.
This formula determines an amount for budgeting purposes and should not be viewed as an allocation.
Determination of the Amount for Equitable Services
Step 1:
Public Enrollment Participating PNP/Private Total Enrollment
(previous year) Enrollment (previous year)
1303 + 50_ = _ 1353_
Formula to Determine Amount for Equitable Services
School Dist. Enrollment Participating PNP/Private Total Enrollment (previous year ) Enrollment (previous year)
1303 + _ 50_ = _ 1353_
Step 2: Title II Dist. PD Amt. or Total Enrollment Per Pupil Amt. Eisenhower Amt. (which ever is greater)
$ 49,706 ÷ _1353 = _36.7376_
(Carry 4 decimal places)
Formula to Determine Amount for Equitable Services
School Dist. Enrollment Participating PNP/Private Total Enrollment (previous year ) Enrollment (previous year)
1303 + _ 50_ = _ 1353_
Title II Dist. PD Amt. or Total Enrollment Per Pupil Amt. Eisenhower Amt. (which ever is greater)
$ 49,706 ÷ _1353 = _36.7376_
(Carry 4 decimal places)
Step 3:
Per Pupil Allocation Participating PNP Total Private Allocation
Enrollment
$ 36.7376 x _ 2 _ =
$73.48_
Formula to Determine Amount for Equitable Services
Annually school districts must provide equitable services to private non-profit schools and oversee the process. They shall:
Notify private schools of the opportunity
Provide a consultation & planning process
Require a needs assessment
Require an evaluation of the program
Keep appropriate records
