Evaluating Federal Financial Assistance

(from Venable LLP) As different programs and funding sources present themselves, independent schools are considering whether and the extent to which receipt or participation would render the school a recipient of federal financial assistance. The obligation to comply with certain federal laws and regulations is triggered by a school's receipt of federal financial assistance, as is compliance with certain executive orders. Venable has guidance on the following laws: 

• Titles I, II, and IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
• National School Lunch Program
• Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
• E-Rate Program
• Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS)
• Nonprofit Security Grant Program
• Veterans Education Program
