SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
General. The intent of this notice of
final interpretations (notice) is to ensure
that all States understand and
implement the requirements of Title III
in accordance with the Secretary’s
‘‘bright-line’’ principles of NCLB—
including annual assessments of and
accountability for all students—as they
apply to the implementation of Title III
of the ESEA.
One of the key goals of Title III of the
ESEA is to ensure that LEP students
attain English language proficiency,
attain high levels of academic
achievement in English, and meet the
same challenging State academic
content and student academic
achievement standards that all children
are expected to meet. To achieve this
goal, Title III grants provide States and
their subgrantees 1 with funds to
implement language instruction
educational programs to help LEP
students acquire English and achieve at
high levels in the core academic
subjects.
Title III subgrantees are required to
use Title III funds to support (1) highquality professional development
designed to improve services to LEP
students, and (2) high-quality language
instruction educational programs that
are designed to increase the English
proficiency and academic achievement
of LEP students. Title III does not
require subgrantees to use a specific or
particular curriculum or approach to
language instruction, except that the
language instruction must be, as
required in section 3113(b)(6) of the
ESEA, tied to scientifically based
research on teaching LEP students and
demonstrated to be effective.
With the enactment of NCLB, States
for the first time were required to
1 This notice refers to ‘‘subgrantees’’ throughout,
consistent with the language in Title III of the
ESEA, to refer to entities receiving Title III, Part A
subgrants. The vast majority of subgrantees under
Title III are local educational agencies (LEAs).
However, subgrantees may also include groups of
LEAs in which one or more LEAs is too small to
be individually eligible to apply for a Title III grant;
such LEAs may join together to form consortia in
order to qualify to receive the minimum amount of
a Title III subgrant, $10,000.
