Overview

The Director of Government Programs advocates for federal and state programs and services to which students of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are rightly entitled.

Guiding Principles

Federal and state programs operate under the two guiding principles of 1) child benefit theory and 2) public trusteeship.   The child benefit theory proposes that government funds are directly targeted to benefit the child.  Public trusteeship commits the funds to a public agency, such as the local public school district or the intermediate unit, for management purposes.

Consultation Process

The local educational agency (public school district) or the intermediate unit is expected to conduct an annual needs assessment and evaluation assessment.  Consultation between public and non-public educational  leaders  should  occur  in  a  meaningful  and  timely  fashion  prior  to  the implementation of programs and services. The consultation meetings are held throughout the year and it is imperative that principals attend.
