How much of an LEAs Title III funds for EL students may be used to support programs, services, and products for ELs in private schools?
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act specifies that assistance to EL students in private schools should be equitable to that of EL students in public schools. The recommended method to determine equity is to use the per pupil allocation of Title III LEP student funds as the basis for the cost of Title III products and services to be provided to the private school. The private school should receive an equivalent amount of products and services for each of the EL students served as the public school receives for each of its EL students according to the per pupil allocation.
