Each local educational agency that receives funds
under this part shall develop jointly with, agree on
with, and distribute to, parents of participating
children a written parent involvement policy.
A written parental involvement policy explains how
the school district or the school campus supports the
important role of parents in the education of their
children. Every school district that receives Title I,
Part A funds must have a written parental
involvement policy. The same is required for every
campus that receives Title I, Part A funds.

(5) PROVISION OF SERVICES- The local
educational agency may provide services under this
section directly or through contracts with public and
private agencies, organizations, and institutions.
Section 9306(a) of Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) requires that:
• The program will be administered in accordance with all
applicable statutes and regulations; and
• The subgrantee [the LEA] will maintain control of the
program.
Section 443(a) of General Education Provisions Act (GEPA)
requires subrecipients to maintain records that fully disclose:
• How the funds were used.
• Total cost of the activity for which the funds were
used.
• Other records that will facilitate an effective audit.

Third-party contracts are a service delivery option
that should be discussed with the private school
officials during the consultation process.

The LEA may decide, in consultation with the PNP,
that services can be most effectively provided
through a third party.
The contract should require:
• That invoices have separate categories for
instructional, professional development, parental
involvement, and administrative costs.
• Sufficient documentation from the contractor
prior to payment of the invoice.

The LEA is required to develop and implement the
program that meets the needs of the eligible private
school participants. The LEA cannot delegate its
responsibility to private school officials or to a
contractor.
