When federal regulations for categorical aid funding require or permit categorical aid services to be provided for nonpublic school students, such services shall be comparable to those provided for public school students. Criteria for student eligibility for these services shall be the same in nonpublic as in public schools, except where federal regulations indicate otherwise.

The district shall continuously involve school officials and parents of nonpublic schools receiving federal categorical aid funds in the identification of needs, the establishment of selection criteria for students to receive extra services, the development of program objectives and activities, and the evaluation design.
