Private schools: federal services & the Hawaii ombudsman

Private and faith-based schools in Hawaii can't take federal Title money as cash, but their students and teachers are entitled to a fair share of the services it funds - tutoring, teacher training, technology, and English-learner support - delivered by the local public school district at no cost to the school. If a district won't cooperate, Hawaii's equitable-services ombudsman is the referee who enforces it.

Nonprofit private schools in Hawaii can join the federal National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and get paid a cash reimbursement for every qualifying meal - a revenue line, not an in-kind service. You apply to your state child-nutrition agency, not your district.
