TUITION GRANT DCPS NON PUBLIC

The entity listed as **Tuition Grant DCPS Non-Public**, located at 1200 First St NE, Washington, D.C., is not a traditional school campus where students attend daily classes. Instead, it serves as an administrative department within the **District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS)** central office. This office is responsible for managing the financial and administrative processes related to tuition grants for students who are placed in non-public special education settings.

The primary function of this office is to coordinate educational placements for students whose specific needs cannot be met within the standard DCPS system. By managing these tuition grants, the department ensures that eligible students receive specialized instruction at approved private or non-public facilities while maintaining the oversight and funding responsibilities of the district. Parents and guardians typically interact with this department regarding the funding, billing, and administrative compliance of out-of-district or specialized private school placements mandated by an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
