Frequently Asked Questions
How do divisions determine participating public school attendance areas?
•A public school attendance area is generally eligible to participate in Title I if its percentage of children from low-income families is at least as high as the percentage of children from low-income families in the division as a whole.•A division has the flexibility, for example, to decide to serve only elementary schools or a combination of elementary and middle schools, but not high schools.
![Page 16: Equitable Services, Part 1 Meaningful Consultation Virginia Department of Education Office of Program Administration and Accountability Title I University](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc95503460f94abf195/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Frequently Asked Questions
Once the participating public school attendance areas have been established, how do divisions allocate funds for Title I services?
•An LEA calculates the per-pupil allocation for each participating public school attendance area. The calculated allocation is then multiplied by the total number of children from low-income families residing in each attendance area attending the private school to determine the value of services for that school.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do divisions collect poverty data on private school children?
•The same measure(s) of poverty used by the division should be used in consultation with private schools. If available, divisions should use the same measure of poverty used to count public school children; e.g., free and reduced price lunch data.•Use comparable poverty data from a survey and allow such survey results to be extrapolated if complete actual data are unavailable.
