:
Title I Fund Allocation for Eligible Non-Public School Children
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), Section 1120 (a)(4) requires that,
“Expenditures for educational services and other benefits to eligible private school
children shall be equal to the proportion of funds allocated to participating school
attendance areas based on the number of children from low-income families who attend
private schools.” The State often receives requests for pertinent information on this
subject from Federal, not-for-profit, and private agencies. In an effort to provide
accurate information to these organizations in an expeditious manner, your assistance
is necessary. Please take time to fill out the attached form and return it to our office by
the close of business on December 27, 2002.
If you have questions, you may contact Betty Applewhite, (850) 487-3530 or Angel
Stanford, (850) 922-8952. You may also contact us via electronic mail at:
Angel.Stanford@FLDOE.ORG or Betty.Applewhite@FLDOE.ORG. Thank you for your
