| | | | | | | | | Description:
The School District of Philadelphia is required by federal law to provide, from its federal Title I, Title II, Title III and Title IV awards, an equitable share of services to non-public schools with Philadelphia students. The District must provide educational services directly or contract with vendors to provide these services based on the selection of a contractor by each of the non-public schools. At the request of non-public schools, the services are provided by contractors. The District manages the contractor provision of services and regularly consults with non-public schools to ensure services are delivered effectively and efficiently. At this time, the District does not know the dollar amount of the Title I, Title II and Title III allocations to non-public schools overall, and non-public schools have not selected the contractors to provide services. The expected outcome of these contracts is improved academic performance of non-public school students.
The allocation to schools and the contractor selected are subject to consultation between the District and non-public schools. To ensure approvals are secured and services begin immediately after June 30, 2021, an aggregate amount is listed for payments to all contractors with final, specific allocations to be made for each contractor when amounts are determined.
