States, territories, tribes, and local school agencies must make sure students and teachers from private nonprofit schools can take part fairly in these service-learning programs, in proportion to how many private-school students are in the area, after talking with private school representatives. If a State, territory, tribe, or agency is legally blocked from doing this, or refuses to do it fairly, the Chief Executive Officer must step in and arrange the services directly.

(a) In general. Based on how many students in the State, territory, tribal area, or school district attend private nonprofit elementary or secondary schools, the State, territory, Indian tribe, or local agency must — after consulting private school representatives — arrange for those students to fairly take part in this part's programs and benefits, and for their teachers to fairly take part in related training. (b) Waiver. If a State, territory, tribe, or agency is legally barred from letting private-school students or teachers participate as (a) requires, or if the Corporation decides it is substantially failing or unwilling to do so fairly, the Chief Executive Officer must waive that requirement and arrange the services directly.

(a) In general

To the extent consistent with the number of students in the State, in the territory, or served by the Indian tribe or in the school district of the local educational agency involved who are enrolled in private nonprofit elementary schools and secondary schools, such State, territory, or Indian tribe, or agency shall (after consultation with appropriate private school representatives) make provision—

(1)

for the inclusion of services and arrangements for the benefit of such students so as to allow for the equitable participation of such students in the programs implemented to carry out the objectives and provide the benefits described in this part; and

(2)

for the training of the teachers of such students so as to allow for the equitable participation of such teachers in the programs implemented to carry out the objectives and provide the benefits described in this part.

If a State, territory, Indian tribe, or local educational agency is prohibited by law from providing for the participation of students or teachers from private nonprofit schools as required by subsection (a), or if the Corporation determines that a State, territory, Indian tribe, or local educational agency substantially fails or is unwilling to provide for such participation on an equitable basis, the Chief Executive Officer shall waive such requirements and shall arrange for the provision of services to such students and teachers.
