The purpose of this program is to provide funds for helping English Learner (EL) students attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards as all children are expected to meet. Funds must be used for increasing the English proficiency of EL children by providing high-quality language instruction and high-quality professional development for their teachers and other school staff. All sites are eligible for Title III services from the district office.
