To determine eligibility, how does the LEA obtain the necessary information from the private schools?
The LEA is responsible for contacting the private schools in writing and consulting with the private school officials before the LEA makes any decision that affects the opportunities of the eligible private school children. The consultation would include the criteria for determining low-income eligibility. If the same criteria of poverty are not available, then the LEA must collect similar data that is comparable and documentable. This data may be obtained through the use of a survey. Appendix H in the FY 2000 IASA Guidelines contains a sample survey form and an accompanying sample letter that may be sent to private school parents.
