How much of an LEAs Title III funds for LEP students may be used to support programs, services, and products for them in private schools?
The No Child Left Behind Act specifies that assistance to LEP students in private schools should be “comparable” to that of LEP students in public schools (Title IX, Part E, Section 9501). The recommended method to determine comparability 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 in the private school. For example, assuming a per pupil allocation of $95, the private school would receive an equivalent amount of products and services for each of the LEP students served. If five LEP students were identified in the private school, then that private school would receive approximately $475 worth of products and services.
