Each Tuesday, private schools that also function as nonpublic agencies (NPAs) come together to discuss best practices, student support, district relations, and education policy. These schools provide specialized services for students with unique learning needs, supporting both private and public school students. This week, NPAs shared success stories and insights with a private school considering applying for NPA status, offering valuable perspectives on their work in this field.
Initially, this group formed to advocate for themselves amid legislation and media coverage that threatened their operations. That shared experience built a lasting network, and today, the NPA community remains a vital support system for private schools dedicated to ensuring every student’s success. NPAs are a crucial part of the comprehensive services available to students.
