Equitable Services for Private Non-Profit Schools

Participation for the 2027-2028 School Year.

An informational meeting for NEW nonprofit private schools interested in participating for the upcoming academic year will be conducted on November 19, 2026, at 9am virtually via TEAMS.  This is a great opportunity for the NEW schools to gather information pertaining to federal funds, expectations, and deadlines.

The Equitable Services team will provide communication via email with details pertaining to participation and requirements directly to non-profit private schools located in Osceola County as listed on the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory. Please ensure the schools information is up-to-date with the state. 

To participate in available federal programs, private schools must COMPLETE the Intent to Participate form in its entirety, submit proof of non-profit status, and provide the current year full student roster on the required Excel sheet. The form and supporting documentation MUST be submitted no later than December 1, 2026. Evidence/proof of nonprofit status should be uploaded when submitting the Intent to Participate form. The full Student Roster may be uploaded to Crate (for participating schools with current access) or emailed (by new schools) to Jessica.Feliciano@osceolaschools.net   Missing or inaccurate information may negatively affect funding allocations. Accuracy is key! 

Schools that fail to provide all completed documentation timely, forfeit their participation in federal funding for the upcoming school year.

Please note that if you elect to participate in federal programs, you will need to provide enrollment counts per grade, curriculum, standardized assessments used, academic standards used, as well as upload a copy of your 501c3 designation letter OR tax exempt certification in this form - so please have these items on hand.
