Aid to Nonpublic School Services

The state of Pennsylvania established Act 89 through legislative action in 1975. The purpose of Act 89 is to provide auxiliary educational services to Pennsylvania students who are enrolled in nonprofit, non-public schools. Regulations, guidelines, and procedures are issued and updated by the state Department of Education. All related information is summarized in the Public School Code of Pennsylvania.

The Capital Area Intermediate Unit (CAIU) Aid to Nonpublic Schools Program (ANPS) administers the fiscal, educational, and programmatic services to the non-public schools located within Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties. Approximately 10,000 students attend these schools. Services to students include remedial reading and math support, school counseling, and speech and language services. Additional services such as professional development, English Language Development consultation, Student Support Team planning, and assessment and data planning are available to nonpublic school administrators and staff.
