Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I; Every Student Succeeds Act 2015

Since the initial passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), private school students and teachers have been eligible to participate in the Title I, Part A (Title I) program. The reauthorization of the ESEA by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) continues the requirement that a local educational agency (LEA) that receives Title I funds provide equitable services to eligible private school students, their teachers, and their families. This guidance is intended to be used in conjunction with the Title I statute and applicable regulations by both public and private school officials. This guidance document only addresses Title I equitable services to eligible private school children, their teachers, and their families.
