Extenuating circumstances only
Funds may remain available for the provision of equitable services under the program (i.e., Title I Part C, Title I Part IV-B) during the subsequent school year
LEA must consult with PNP officials to determine how funds will be spent in subsequent school year

24. TEA Strategic Priorities
Public schools have been asked to align grant expenditures to one or more of 4 strategic priorities.
It is also suggested, though not currently required, that the private schools do the same.

25. TEA Strategic Priorities
Every child, prepared for success in college, a career or the military.
Strategic priorities
Recruit, support, retain teachers and principals
Build a foundation of reading and math
Connect high school to career and college
Improve low-performing schools
Enablers
Increase transparency, fairness and rigor in district and
campus academic and financial performance
Ensure compliance, effectively implement legislation
and inform policymakers
Strengthen organizational foundations
(resource efficiency, culture, capabilities, partnerships)

26. Aligning Equitable Services to Strategic Priorities
Most private schools can probably already identify uses of funds that could be aligned to the Strategic Priorities.

27. Timely & Meaningful Consultation
• Before the LEA makes any decisions
