Under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to provide services for eligible public school students, as well as eligible private school students. Specifically, section 1118 of Title I, Part A, requires a participating LEA to provide eligible children attending private elementary and secondary schools, their teachers, and their families, with Title I services or other benefits that are equitable to those provided to eligible public school children, their teachers, and their families.
