Title III- English Language Learners
The overarching purpose is to ensure that English learner (EL) students, including immigrant children and youth, attain English language proficiency (ELP) and meet the same challenging state academic standards that other students are expected to meet.
LEAs must use Title III funds to supplement state language instruction educational programs, designed to assist EL students’ achievement goals.
The state educational agency (SEA), LEAs, and schools are accountable for increasing the ELP and core academic content knowledge of EL students.
