    MetroArea Equitable Services Consultation District Invitation

     

    The Office of Federal Programs invites representatives of your private school to attend the MetroArea Initial Consultation Meeting for Equitable Services. The meeting will provide information about various federally funded programs and the process in which non-profit private schools may participate in such programs during the 2024-2025 school year.

     

    In accordance with ESEA sections 1117 and 8501, Local Educational Agencies (LEA), which includes school districts, are required to reach out annually to private schools regarding the provision of equitable services, which includes consultation and planning prior to the start of the next school year.

     

    • For Title I, Part A, LEAs must invite private schools (located within or outside of the LEA and the state) with students residing within the LEA’s geographical boundaries.

     

    • For Title VIII (Title I, Part C; Title II, Part A; Title III, Part A; Title IV, Part A), LEAs must invite private schools located within the LEA’s geographical boundaries.

     

    • For Title VIII (Title IV, Part B), LEAs, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and the Institute of Higher Education (IHE) must invite private schools located in the geographical boundaries of the attendance area served by the grant program.

     

    Initial Consultation Meeting Information:
