Participation for the 2026-2027 School Year
An informational meeting for NEW nonprofit private schools interested in participating for the upcoming academic year will be conducted on November 6, 2025, from 10 AM -11:30 AM virtually via TEAMS. This is a great opportunity for the NEW schools to gather information pertaining to federal funds, expectations, and deadlines. Details about this session are being emailed directly to non-profit schools located in Osceola County as listed on the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory.
To participate in available federal programs, private schools must COMPLETE the Intent to Participate form in its entirety, submit proof of non-profit status, and provide a full student roster on the required Excel sheet. The form and supporting documentation MUST be submitted no later than December 1, 2025. Evidence/proof of nonprofit status should be uploaded when submitting the Intent to Participate form. The full Student Roster may be uploaded to Crate or emailed to Jessica.Feliciano@osceolaschools.net Missing or inaccurate information may negatively affect funding allocations. Accuracy is key!
Schools that fail to provide all completed documentation timely forfeit their participation in federal funding for the upcoming school year.
Please note that if you elect to participate in federal programs, you will need to provide enrollment counts per grade, curriculum, standardized assessments used, academic standards used, as well as upload a copy of your 501c3 designation letter OR tax exempt certification in this form - so please have these items on hand. The Student Roster will need to be submitted via Crate or email.
