  1. Creating a Shared Vision: 21st Century Learning for Students with Limited English proficiency Title III Conference May 5, 2009

  2. Overview NCLB Title I and Title III Commonalities USDOE Guidance on Supplement versus Supplant Programmatic Collaboration

  3. What Are The Commonalities of Titles I and III? • They meet in the middle… Title II • Together they add up to … Title IV • They both address Limited English Proficient (LEP) Student Achievement

  4. What Are The Commonalities of Titles I and III? C. They both address LEP Student Achievement

  5. Supplement not Supplant Follow up from USDOE October 2008LEP Partnership Meeting

  6. The Context • The presentation will provide an overview of the US Department of Education’s guidance on use of Title I and Title III funds • The presentation also addresses additional questions regarding the use of Title III funds consistent with the supplement not supplant requirement.

  7. Supplement not Supplant in Brief – General Principle In general, the federal supplement not supplant requirement (for both Titles I and III) is intended to ensure that services provided with federal funds are in addition to, and do not replace or supplant, services that students would otherwise receive. • Required by law • Prior Year Funding

  8. The First Test of Supplanting:Required by Law The Department assumes supplanting exists if- • A local education agency (LEA) uses Title III funds to provide services that the LEA is required to make available under State or local laws, or other Federal laws.

  9. The Second Test of Supplanting: Prior Year The Department assumes supplanting exists if – • An LEA uses federal funds to provide services that it provided in the prior year with State, local, or other Federal funds. This assumption may be rebutted.

  10. Any determination about supplanting is very fact specific, and it is difficult to provide general guidelines without examining the details of a situation.

  11. Supplement not Supplant Practical Applications – English Language Proficiency (ELP) Assessment Development and Administration

  12. Use of ESEA Funds to AdministerState ELP Assessments Title I and Title III funds may not be used to administer State ELP assessments because: • Title I does not specifically authorize this expenditure, which is necessary because the requirement applies to all LEP students (not just Title I students). • Use of Title III funds for this purpose would violate the supplement not supplant requirements since the ELP assessment is a requirement under Title I. An SEA may use Section 6111 funds to administer State ELP assessments.

  13. Use of ESEA Funds to Develop and Administer ELP Assessments for Identification and Placement Neither Title I nor Title III funds may be used to develop or administer ELP assessments for identification and placement purposes. Section 6111 funds may not be used for this purpose as they may only be used to fund assessments required under Section 1111(b)(7).

  14. Supplement not Supplant Considerations at the LEA And School Levels

  15. 4 Guiding Questions for Determining If Title III Funds Can be Used Without Violating the Supplant Requirement • What is the instructional program/service provided to all students? • What does the LEA do to meet Lau requirements? • What services is the LEA required by other Federal, State, and local laws or regulations to provide? • Was the program/service previously provided with State, local, and Federal funds? Based on the answers to the above questions, would the proposed funds be used to provide an instructional program/service that is in addition to or supplemental to an instructional program/service that would otherwise be provided to LEP students in the absence of a Title III grant?

  16. Department Follow-up on Supplement not Supplant The Department of Education intends to monitor this issue beginning with the Title III grants that will be awarded in July 2009.
