- Description
- The U.S. Department of Education has a requirement for a five-year contract (Base year with four option years) for Title I educational services in the state of Virginia. Title I, Part A, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110), provides Federal financial assistance to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to ensure that all children have fair, equal, and significant opportunities in obtaining high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and State academic assessments. Accordingly, Sec. 1120 of the ESEA requires each participating LEA to provide Title I services to eligible private school children, their teachers, and their families. These services must be equitable to those provided by each LEA to public school children, their teachers, and their families. If an LEA is prohibited by law from providing equitable services to private school children in accordance with Sec. 1120 of the ESEA or if the U.S. Secretary of Education determines that an LEA has substantially failed or is unwilling to provide such services to private school children, that LEA is "bypassed." The Secretary of Education has waived this requirement to date for 14 LEAs in the State of Virginia and has arranged for third parties under contracts with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to provide these required services. All responsible sources must be aware of their duties for assuming the LEA's responsibility in meeting all statuatory and regulatory requirements for providing equitable services. The anticipated Request for Proposals (RFP) date is April 27, 2007 with a closing date of on or about May 27, 2007. The RFP will be released on www.fbo.gov. The anticipated contract award date is July 1, 2007. For any questions or comments, please contact Thurl Frazier, Contract Specialist at (202) 245-6187 or via email at thurl.frazier@ed.gov and cc Sylvia Reid, Contracting Officer at sylvia.reid@ed.gov.
