The Hurricane Education Recovery Act defines a nonpublic school as a school that is accredited or licensed otherwise and operates in accordance with state law. In Kentucky, home schools are considered to have the same standing as other nonpublic schools. Therefore, home schools that were in existence on August 22, 2005, and serve students who were displaced by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita are eligible for funds under the Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced Students program.
To complete the Application by Local Public School District for Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced Students, the Director of Pupil Personnel must contact all nonpublic schools (including home schools) within the boundaries of the local public school district. The district may decide on the form of the contact, and a variety of contacts may be used.
Examples of contact may include:
- E-mail to those nonpublic schools with an e-mail address. The e-mail should include the URL for the Act and Federal Register, the Certification by Non-Public Schools form and the Parent Application form.
- Regular postage letters to the nonpublic schools. The letter should include the URL for the Act and Federal Register, the Certification by Non-Public Schools form and the Parent Application form.
- Notification in the local newspaper. The notification should include the URL for the district's Web page, where the Certification by Non-Public Schools form, the Parent Application form and the link to the Act and the Federal Register may be found.
