Abstract | This report summarizes findings from surveys of Title I district administrators and private school representatives regarding the provision of Title I services to eligible students attending private schools. Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (IASA), provides school districts with funds for supplementary instruction and support to educationally disadvantaged students. A provision of the ESEA directs school districts to provide Title I services to eligible students residing in participating public school district attendance areas but attending private schools. The mandate also requires that these services be equitable to services provided the public school peers of these private school students. The survey, which targeted 200 school districts known to provide Title I services to private school students, eventually had a response rate of 85% among Title I administrators and 80% among the representatives of private schools. Districts serving the largest number of private school students reported that they have provided Title I services to fewer private school students in the 2 years immediately following the IASA than in the years preceding its enactment. Just over half of the responding school districts did not collect information on the family income of students in all private schools. While there were generally positive assessments of the working relationships between Title I administrators and staffs and private school administrators, comparisons of their reports made it clear that there were significant differences in their reports about who is involved in consultation and the topics that are discussed. Large numbers of private school representatives were not knowledgeable about many aspects of Title I services to private school students, with gaps in information particularly large in issues related to program funding and student results. Few districts offer Title I services other than supplementary instruction to private school students, even though other types of services, such as counseling, health services, and homework assistance, are allowable. The percentage of school districts applying for capital funds under the ESEA has remained unchanged except among the largest districts, where the percentage has increased. Four appendixes contain school district and private school questionnaires, consultation exhibits, and standard error exhibits. (Contains 78 exhibits and 1 reference.) (SLD) |
