Using Title I, Part A in Alternative Schools
Oct

Washington State is looking into when and how Title I, Part A funds can be used in alternative schools in preparation for developing some guidance for the LEAs. Our state has a number of different types of alternative schools, from 100% online schools to Co-op programs.
Does your state have any guidance for using Title I, Part A funds in an alternative school?
How do you determine when these schools are required to receive services or not eligible for services?
Any guidance or ideas would be helpful. Thank you!

If an alternative school is under an LEA, it may be eligible/served based on rank and serve criteria. If it is an alternative program, then not eligible. Also, we have some online schools both under and LEA or their own LEA(s), so the online school(s) may be eligible/served based on rank and serve criteria.
