Federal Programs

School districts are required to notify non-public schools about their right to participate in programs that are funded by federal dollars. The Office of the County Superintendent serves as a liaison between school districts and non-public schools by providing information about the title programs thereby giving all schools an opportunity to participate in these programs.
