The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states that every state educational agency (SEA) must designate an ombudsman to monitor and enforce equitable services requirements to help ensure equitable services and other benefits for eligible private school children, teachers and other educational personnel, and families. The equitable services ombudsman is the state’s primary point of contact for addressing questions and concerns pertaining to the equitable services requirements under Title I and Title VIII of ESEA, as amended by ESSA.
