2024–25 Title II/Title III Nonprofit Participation

Data Collection Purpose

The local educational agency (LEA) must offer to provide equitable services that address the needs of nonprofit private school students, teachers, and other educational personnel under the programs listed. This completed data collection form, along with the LEA’s records of contact and consultation, will serve to document that the nonprofit private schools were contacted and made decisions regarding whether to participate in Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction), Title III English Learner and/or Title III Immigrant Student Programs.

This data collection form will not display for county offices of education or direct funded charters. This data collection form is relevant to districts only; for it to display a district must apply for and be designated to receive Title II and/or Title III allocations. If a district that applied for and was designated to receive Title II and/or Title III allocations did not complete the Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form or did complete it by indicating that no nonprofits were eligible for participation, then no data can be entered into this data collection form.

Note: The California Department of Education (CDE) county-district-school (CDS) database informs the Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS) as to whether an active nonprofit private school is located within or outside of a district’s boundaries to determine in which district’s school list the active nonprofit private school belongs so it will automatically populate into that district’s Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form. The option to add active nonprofit private schools from outside a district’s boundaries to that district’s school list in CARS can only be done via the Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form.

Program Information

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as Amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act: Providing Equitable Services to Eligible Private School Children, Teachers, and Families (PDF) federal guidance on the U.S. Department of Education web document, outlines mandated consultation between LEAs and eligible private schools. The LEA records should include dates of contact, persons contacted, and the results of such contacts with each nonprofit private school or Nonpublic, Nonsectarian School. These records should document both the participating nonprofit private schools and those choosing not to participate in ESEA services.

Non-unified school districts (i.e., elementary and high school districts) may opt to share responsibility for providing equitable Title II, Part A, Title III English Learner, and/or Title III Immigrant services for an eligible private school with a grade span that includes both elementary and high school students. Districts may wish to refer to the Private School Affidavit on file with the CDE, using the Private School Affidavit web page to determine the number of students enrolled by grade span. Enrollment counts are reported under penalty of perjury by each private school on its annual Private School Affidavit. The information filed in the Private School Affidavit is not verified, and the CDE takes no position as to its accuracy.

It is expected that districts engaged in private school consultation have verified the nonprofit status of the private school and the accuracy of student enrollment data if it is being used for the purpose of providing equitable services.

Displayed Data – School Grid

School name and School code: Displayed data sourced through the CDE CDS database, as reflected in the CDE California School Directory web-based application.

Note: Active nonprofit private schools from within a district’s boundaries with the “Signed Written Affirmation on File” option marked as “Yes” in the Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form are included in this data collection form. If an active nonprofit private school from outside a district’s boundaries was added to the district’s Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form with the “Signed Written Affirmation on File” option marked as “Yes,” then that active nonprofit private school will only display in this data collection form if the district is non-unified.

Enrollment: Displayed data sourced through the CDE CDS database.

Procedures – Participation

School added: A displayed “Y” (Yes) or “N” (No) flag identifying whether an active nonprofit private school was added to the district’s nonprofit private school list via the Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form.

Note: If the school added record in this data collection form indicates “N”, then that means the active nonprofit private school is located within the district’s boundaries, per the CDE CDS database, and would have automatically populated into the district’s Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form. If the school added record in this data collection form indicates “Y”, then that means the district is non-unified and the active nonprofit private school is located outside the boundaries of that non-unified district, per the CDE CDS database, did not automatically populate into the non-unified district’s Spring Release Nonprofit Private School Consultation data collection form and so had to be added to that spring form.

Optional Function

Download schools template: Select this option to download school data from the data collection form into an Excel (.xls) spreadsheet.

Choose file / Upload schools file: Select this option to upload school data from an Excel (.xls) spreadsheet into the data collection form.

Note: This optional function to work offline in a spreadsheet, rather than manually entering data directly into the data collection form, may be useful if a district has more schools than can display in a single view of the data collection form on-screen.
