Frequently Asked Questions
What types of schools does ADAC serve?
ADAC partners with over 3,500 Catholic, charter, private, and public schools nationwide. We also specialize in supporting non-public schools in navigating Title I and IDEA equitable services while strengthening instructional systems and compliance infrastructure. Our Title I and IDEA Direct Services grew over 300% in the 2025-26 school year.
How does ADAC support Title I and IDEA Direct Services?
We manage implementation from start to finish — including staffing, documentation, fiscal stewardship, progress monitoring, and audit-ready compliance — while respecting each school’s mission and culture.
How does ADAC deliver services and professional learning to schools?
- On-site Title I & IDEA Direct Services
- Professional learning workshops and multi-session learning pathways
- Strategic planning and system-level consulting
- Leadership coaching and implementation support
- Customized toolkits and data-driven improvement plans
How does ADAC help schools build sustainable systems — not just one-time solutions?
ADAC focuses on building long-term infrastructure rather than isolated interventions. We support schools through:
- Structured implementation plans
- Centralized documentation and progress monitoring systems
- Data-informed decision-making processes
- Leadership collaboration and coaching
- Clear alignment between funding, instruction, and outcomes
Our goal is to move schools from reactive compliance to proactive, sustainable excellence — strengthening systems that endure beyond a single grant cycle or school year.
How can my school or diocese get started?
We begin with a consultation to assess current federal service access, compliance needs, and implementation goals. From there, we design a scalable support model tailored to your school or system.
Can my school use Title IIa funding for ADAC services?
Yes! Under ESEA §8101(42), 20 U.S.C. 7801(42), “professional development” expressly includes activities for “educators (including teachers, principals, other school leaders, specialized instructional support personnel, paraprofessionals…),” which permits the use of Title II‑A funds to provide eligible, standards‑aligned professional development to private school paraprofessionals as part of equitable services.
