Maureen.DR. DOWLING: Thank you. Good morning, everyone.Again, my name is Maureen Dowling. I work in the Office of Non-PublicEducation in the Office of Innovation and Improvement here at the USDepartment of Education. I want to thank the Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools and the Advisory Committee for inviting me here this morningdiscuss with you the equitable participation of private school students andteachers in federal education programs. And of course, the focus today ison the Title IV, Part A, Safe and Drug Free Schools.In your packets for those, if you'd like to follow along,on Tab 3, we've included a copy of the PowerPoint.

First and foremost, since 1965with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the lawhas provided for the equitable participation of private school students andteachers in federal education programs. So the equitable participation is notnew under the No Child Left Behind Act, which it has reauthorized theElementary and Secondary Education Act.Second, critical is that the law requires timely andmeaningful consultation between the local educational agency, the LEA, and
