(813) 272-4478Private schools in Hillsborough County that are nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations may be eligible to receive federally funded educational services through the school district. To participate, schools must complete an Intent to Participate Form, typically distributed in January each year via email to the email address on record with the FLDOE.
These services are provided in accordance with federal law and are designed to support students, teachers, and families in private school settings. While private schools do not receive direct funding, the district coordinates services delivered by public school staff or third-party providers. Programs are based on student needs, school eligibility, and available federal funding.
