2017-2018 Affirmation of Consultation with Private Nonprofit (PNP) School Officials

Federal law requires private schools to be contacted annually by the LEA to determine if PNPs would like to participate with federal programs. It is the responsibility of the Local Education Agency (LEA) to ensure consultation with the private schools is timely and meaningful. Consultation must occur during the design and development of the programs and before the LEA makes any decisions affecting the opportunities of eligible private school children, teachers, and other educational personnel to participate in the programs. LEAs are required to document that timely and meaningful consultation with PNP officials has occurred.

The 2017-2018 PNP Affirmation of Consultation with Private School Officials’ template is available for download through the GFFC Reports and Data Collections application. Please refer to the Affirmation of Consultation instructions for additional guidance on TEA’s Transition to ESSA webpage: http://tea.texas.gov/Finance_and_Grants/Grants/Administering_a_Grant/Transition_to_ESSA.
