TITLE VI: Flexibility and Accountability (New program) |
| Title VI provides several programs that make it possible for state and local educational
agencies to transfer federal education program funds allocated for one purpose to other
purposes authorized by NCLBA. Importantly, whether the state or local district takes
advantage of the ability to transfer funds or receives a special authorization for additional
flexibility, the obligation to provide equitable services to private and religious school students
and teachers remains. State and local school districts must consult with private school
officials prior to making any decisions that could impact the ability of private and religious
school students and teachers to benefit from programs under NCLBA in which they would
otherwise be eligible to participate. |
