ESSA Private School Equitable Services
Understanding Private Nonprofit (PNP) Equitable Services
Federal funding is allocated annually through the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to support students with specific needs, including those from low-income families.
The concept of Private School Equitable Services ensures that eligible students, teachers, staff, and families in Private Non-Profit (PNP) schools receive fair access to federally funded programs.
How it Works:
Funding flows from TEA to Local Education Agencies (LEAs).
LEAs are required to engage in timely and meaningful consultation with private school officials to design, develop, and deliver the services.
