Title I of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

(ESEA) for any year during which the 

student attended such secondary school; 

and 

(B) Which for the purpose of this 

paragraph and for that year, was 

determined by the Secretary (after 

consultation with the State educational
