What is the Purpose of Private School Reporting?
The Georgia Code on requirements for private schools (O.C.G.A § 20-2-690) stipulates that, within 30 days after the beginning of each school year, it shall be the duty of the administrator of each private school to provide to the school superintendent of each local public school district which has residents enrolled in the private school a list of the name, age, and residence of each resident so enrolled. At the end of each school month, it shall be the duty of the administrator of each private school to notify the school superintendent of each local public school district of the name, age, and residence of each student residing in the public school district who enrolls or terminates enrollment at the private school during the immediately preceding school month. Such records shall indicate when attendance has been suspended and the grounds for such suspension.
What is the role of GaDOE?
GaDOE provides private schools with access to form DE1111 and the list of district Private School Coordinators (see below in resources section).
Data submitted via DE1111 are utilized to cross-reference K-12 enrollment information provided by private schools participating in Equitable Services under Title II, Part A and Title IV, Part A of the Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA). By law, ESSA allocations are determined on a per pupil basis and, in Georgia, are extracted from an official count taken the first Tuesday of October. DE1111 enrollment information submitted in November should reflect enrollment information collected on the first Tuesday of October.
