The deadline is November 11, 2016, for submitting your school district’s or charter school’s Title I, Part A Comparability of Services compliance documents for the 2016-17 school year. Under NCLB, Section 1120A(c), known as the comparability of services requirement, LEAs may receive Title I, Part A funds only if state and local funds will be used in Title I, Part A schools to provide services that are at least comparable to the services provided in non-Title I, Part A schools. If the LEA serves all of its schools with Title I, Part A funds, the LEA must use state and local funds to provide services that, taken as a whole, are substantially comparable in each Title I, Part A school. All local education agencies (LEAs) that receive Title I, Part A funding must submit select documentation, even if the LEA is fully exempt under the defined criteria for comparability.
