BUREAU OF STUDENT ASSISTANCE
CONFERENCE CALL REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TITLE I, PART A PROGRAMS IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS 
March 01, 2012 10:00 AM-11:00 Noon
Conference Call Notes

NOTES	
Welcome and Introductions

	Good morning. Today we will be discussing the implementation of Title I, Part A programs in private schools, specifically the consultation process. 

Public school districts are required to offer equitable services to eligible private school students through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB),. Twelve major ESEA programs require public school districts to provide services and benefits to private school participants on an equitable basis. 

ESEA requires that public school districts engage in timely and meaningful consultation with private schools about the provision of services to private school students, their teachers, and parents. This consultation must occur before any decision is made that impacts the opportunities for participation of private school students, teachers, and parents and throughout the design, development, implementation, and assessment of those services [ESEA, Section 9501(c)(3), Section 1120, (b)(2)]. 

This will be the first in a series of conference calls focusing on the equitable services requirements for Title I, Part A programs. We will begin with information on the consultation process by providing technical assistance and guidance on the process LEAs should use when consulting with private school officials on the development of Title I, Part A programs. We will also discuss the documentation that should be maintained to demonstrate compliance.  
	
Roll Call 

	Email Audrey.Obinyan@fldoe.org with the password “Warm Winter” in the subject line.	
Overview of Agenda

	
Section 1120 requires local educational agencies to provide, after timely and meaningful consultation with appropriate private school officials, educational services or other benefits to private school children, teachers, and families of the children on an equitable basis. These services must be developed through timely and meaningful consultation. Timely consultation occurs before decisions are made about the program. Meaningful consultation requires that private school officials and the LEA engage in two-way communication about the program and that the LEA does make a unilateral offer regarding services.  	
Private School Guidance Documents

	The Department has developed guidance documents to assist LEAs and private schools in developing comprehensive and high quality programs through the consultation process with private schools that will meet the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).  Guidance is provided in the following forms: 

•	Conference Call notes that will be distributed after this call;
•	Frequently Asked Questions to be updated based on the questions addressed during the call;
•	Technical Assistance Papers; 
•	Sample forms and plans;
•	Suggested timelines; and
•	Suggestions for documenting compliance.

These documents may be used by LEAs for developing plans and documenting compliance for the consultation process. We value your input on these guidance documents and samples. Should you have any suggestions to improve these documents, please email Audrey Obinyan at Audrey.Obinyan@fldoe.org
 	
Purpose of Consultation Process

	The purpose of the consultation process is to collaboratively develop and implement effective Title I, Part A programs in non-profit private schools. In general, consultation must meet two conditions: it must be (1) timely and (2) meaningful.

•	For consultation to be considered “timely” it must be conducted before decisions are made about Title I funding and services that could affect the opportunity for eligible private school children, their teachers, and their families to participate in Title I programs. 

During meaningful consultation, LEAs discuss all of the key elements of the program and the evaluation of services that allow equitable participation of private school students, their parents, and teachers in Title I programs. The key elements are related to the instructional services, professional development, and parental involvement. 

Consultation is not a unilateral offer of services by an LEA with no opportunity for discussion. Similarly, it is not adequate consultation to send a letter to officials of the private schools explaining the intent of Title I. The consultation process includes four distinct parts: 

•	Overview of federal programs (Intent to Participate);
•	Title I specific overview;
•	School specific design of the program; and
•	Ongoing consultation.

We will be discussing the requirement for each of these four parts during this conference call. 	
Initial Consultation: Overview of Federal Programs

	During the initial meeting, private school officials should be provided information regarding all of the federal programs in which private schools may participate. This meeting should focus on the services that can be provided through each program.  Appendix A provides the list of federal programs that require an equitable portion and consultation with private schools. This technical assistance will focus on the requirements of Title I, Part A programs.

Documentation Required: 
•	Copies of the letters mailed to the private schools notifying them of the opportunity to participate;
•	Evidence the letters were received (return receipts);
•	Sign-in sheets and agendas; 
•	Meeting minutes; and
•	Signed “Intent to Participate” forms.

If a private school official fails to attend, the LEA should contact the private school official and discuss the options by phone. The LEA should then have the private school official sign and fax the “Intent to Participate” form. The LEA should document the date, time, and persons participating in the call. It is the LEA’s responsibility to ensure that all private schools are provided a genuine opportunity for equitable participation and are fully aware of their rights to participate [34 CFR §§75.650 and 76.651(a)(1)]. 

The initial consultation meeting should be held in the fall in preparation for the coming school year.  Ideally, consultation should begin in October.

The LEA is not required to conduct this initial consultation meeting under the following conditions: 
All eligible private schools already participate ; however, the consultation process must still occur regarding the design of the program for the coming school year; 

It is the responsibility of the LEA to provide a genuine opportunity for equitable participation in federal programs by all private schools. The LEA must ensure that private school officials are well aware of their rights and the opportunity to participate in the federal programs [34 CFR § 76.651]. A genuine opportunity to participate involves components including but not limited to: 

•	Providing accurate and timely information;
•	Presenting information with a positive and encouraging attitude;
•	Presenting information in a non-threatening manner; 
•	Being open and available to provide guidance and support; and  
•	Providing contact information. 

After the LEA has begun the services, it is not necessary to include additional participating private schools throughout a school year. Adding private schools during the school year would not allow for timely and meaningful consultation meetings of public and private school officials to occur or allow the consultation process to occur before the LEA makes any decision that affects the opportunity for eligible private school children, their teachers, and their families to participate in Title I programs. Once the private school officials indicate that they do not wish to participate in the Title I, Part A program for the coming school year, the LEA is not required to include the private school officials in any other meetings for consultation. The LEA may establish a reasonable deadline for the private school to indicate their intent to participate in the Title I program. It is the LEAs responsibility to ensure that all private school officials understand the timelines for consultation.	
Consultation 2: Title I, Part A Specific Overview

	After the LEA determines the private schools that plan to participate in the Title I, Part A program, another meeting should be scheduled to discuss the specifics of the Title I program. This may be a group meeting with officials from all participating private schools or individual meetings per school. The topics to be discussed during this meeting are items that will be implemented in the same ways for all private schools such as the following: 
•		Timeline of consultation with private school officials regarding the Title I program and the development of the Title I, Part A application and other Title I funded activities.
•	Method(s) for feedback from private school officials;
•	The method, or the sources of data, that the LEA used (under 34 CFR, Part 200, Section 200.78) to determine the number of private school children from low-income families residing in participating public school attendance areas, including whether the LEA extrapolated data if a survey was used;
•	The size and scope of the equitable services that the LEA provides to eligible private school children and, consistent with 34 CFR, Part 200, Section 200.64, the proportion of its Title I funds that the LEA allocates for these services and the amount of funds that the LEA reserves from its Title I allocation for the purposes listed in 34 CFR, Part 200, Section 200.77;
•	The LEA and state complaint policy and/or procedures; and
 
•	The process the private school should use when filing a complaint with the SEA (including the complaint process with the LEA). 

General information on the following topics should also be discussed; however, specific plans must be discussed with each school based on the specific needs of the students: 
•	How the LEA will identify the needs of eligible private school children;
•	Which children will receive benefits under the program [34CFR 76.652(a)(1)]; 
•	What services the LEA will offer to eligible private school children;
•	How and when the LEA makes decisions about the delivery of services;
•	How, where, and by whom the LEA provides services to eligible private school children;
•	How the LEA assesses academically the services to private school children in accordance with 34 CFR, Part 200, Section 200.10, and how the LEA uses the results of that assessment to improve Title I services;
•	Services the LEA provides to teachers and families of participating private school children;
•	Consultation with private school officials regarding LEA-wide activities.

Consultation must also include:
•	Discussion of service delivery mechanisms the LEA will use to provide services; and
•	Thorough consideration and analysis of the views of the private school officials on whether the LEA should contract with a third-party provider. If the LEA disagrees with the views of the private school officials on that issue, the LEA must provide in writing to those officials the reasons why the LEA has chosen not to use a third-party contractor.

Appendix B of these notes provides the list of specific topics that must be discussed during the consultation. LEAs may not fully document meaningful consultation in a group meeting with all private school officials since the design of the program may be different at each private school and depends on the specific needs of the students, parents, and teachers. 

” 

LEAs should ask private school officials to consider the needs of the students and be prepared to discuss specific program delivery methods during the next (individual) meeting. The LEA should also begin to schedule these meetings.

Documentation may include:
•	Signed affirmations of consultation;
•	Sign-in sheets;
•	Agendas; 
•	Handouts; and
•	Minutes of the meeting.

The overview of Title I should take place in the winter of the year (December or January) in preparation for the coming school year. 	
Consultation 3: School Specific Design of the Program

	Meaningful consultation should continue with a third meeting with private school officials. The purpose of this meeting is to develop the specific service delivery plan. This part of the consultation process should be conducted on an individual basis with each participating private school. 

During meetings with individual schools, the LEA and private school officials should work together to develop the Service Delivery Plan. 
The Service Delivery Plan should include the following information:

•	The method the LEA will use for identifying eligible students;
•	The instructional services to be offered for participating students attending private schools;
•	A goal (SMART)  “By the end of the ________________school year private school students participating in the Title I program will show an increase in reading or math proficiency by 5%”.
•	 Funds available;
•	Description of the decision making process;
•	 Description of the contracted services;
•	 Description of the professional development and parental involvement opportunities; Description of the LEA’s program evaluation process; and
•	Description detailing how the LEA will monitor the implementation of the program and conduct ongoing consultation

Appendices E and F of the conference call notes includes two templates that may be used in the development of the Service Delivery Plan. The service delivery plan may or may not be the same for participating schools. The specific needs of the students attending the private school should be considered when developing the plan. 

Documentation may include:
•	Signed written Service Delivery Plan;
•	Sign-in sheets;
•	Agendas; 
•	Handouts; and
•	Minutes of the meeting.

The school specific meetings should begin during the spring and continue through the summer of the year prior to implementation.  After consultation has concluded, the LEA should collect signed Affirmations of Consultation. Appendix C provides a sample written affirmation LEAs may use to document that consultation with private school official has occurred.
