Does the U.S. Department of Education provide services and benefits to private elementary and secondary school students and teachers and, if so, how do students and teachers get access to them?
Certain federal education programs under the ESEA, (See question 4.) and IDEA (See question 5.) provide services and benefits to private school students, teachers and, in some programs, parents (as distinct from schools) and require that such services be provided equitably compared to services provided to students and teachers in public schools. LEAs, normally the local public school districts, are responsible for implementing these programs on behalf of private school students and teachers. Under these programs, control of funds remains with the LEA.
