Program Operations – Plans (ESEA Application)
• Title III specific goals• Federal Title III Funding/State ESL Funding• Budget sheet• Title III tab
– New Consortium Model– Teacher/Student– State ESL (each county)– Federal Title III (consortium lead)
![Page 7: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Program Operations – Plans (ESEA Application)
• Title III specific goalsExamples– As measured by West Virginia English Language
Proficiency Assessment, no less than twenty percent (20%) of LEA’s English Language Learners students in fourth through twelfth grades will increase one proficiency level during the 2015-16 school year.
– All school staff who will work with ELLs will receive Title III related professional development
![Page 8: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Program Operations – Plans (ESEA Application)
• Federal Title III Funding/State ESL Funding
![Page 9: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Program Operations – Plans (ESEA Application)
• New Consortia Model
Under the Title III program, if a county does not have a sufficient number of English language learners (ELLs) enrolled to qualify for a minimum subgrant of $10,000, the county can only receive funding by participating jointly in consortia with other districts.
9 consortia
2 individual counties
![Page 10: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Program Operations – Plans (ESEA Application)
• Title III tab– State Section (each county)
All counties will individually complete the appropriate Title III components of the application – Teacher/Student – WVSIPP– Federal Section (consortia lead county)
This section is submitted by the Consortium lead. The narrative and services described in this section will reflect the collective plan of the consortium developed through meaningful consultation and consensus.
– All counties wishing to opt out of the assigned consortium and not receive Title III federal and state funds will need to indicate their intentions via the program opt out form prior to June 16 of each year. Please note that counties are still required to provide service to English language learners regardless of participating in Title III programming.

Program Operations – Level of Service
• ESEA Application– Ratio – Teacher : Students
– Examples of when the Departments have identified compliance issues in staffing and resourcing an ELL program include when school districts
• Offer language assistance services based on staffing levels and teacher availability rather than student need
• Utilize mainstream teachers, paraprofessionals, or tutors rather than fully qualified ESL teachers for ESL instruction
• Provide inadequate training to general education teachers who provide core content instruction to ELL students
![Page 12: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Program Operations – Level of Service
• Proficiency Level 4 and 5– Students in ELL programs must receive appropriate language assistance
services until they are proficient in English and can participate meaningfully in the district’s educational program without language assistant services.
– Examples of when Departments have identified compliance issues• Exclude kindergarteners or ELL students with scheduling conflicts from their other
programs• Supplement regular education instruction with only ides who tutor EL students as
opposed to teachers adequately trained to deliver the ELL program• Fail to offer an ELL program to certain subset of ELL students, such as students with
disabilities or students speaking particular languages• Stop providing language assistance services when ELL students reach higher levels
of English Proficiency but have not met exit criteria

Program Operations – Private School Participation
• LEA must provide meaningful and timely consultation with private school officials regarding participation in ESEA program services. (Title III)
• After timely and meaningful consultation with appropriate private school officials, local education agencies (LEAs) receiving Title III funds must provide educational services to limited English proficient (LEP) children and educational personnel in private schools that are located in the geographic area served by the LEA.
![Page 14: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Program Operations – Private School Participation
• To ensure timely and meaningful consultation, the LEA must consult with appropriate private school officials during the design and development of the Title III program on issues such as:1. How the LEP children’s needs will be identified
2. What services will be offered
3. How, where and by whom the services will be provided
4. How the services will be assessed and how the results of the assessment will be used to improve those services.
5. The size and scope of the services to be provided to the private school children and educational personnel.
6. The amount of funds available for those services.
7. How and when the LEA will make decisions about the delivery of services, including a thorough consideration of the views of the private school officials on the provision of contract services through potential third-party providers.
![Page 15: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Program Operations – Private School Participation
• Title III services provided to children and educational personnel in private schools must be equitable and timely and address their educational needs.
• Funds provided for educational services for private school children and educational personnel must be equal, taking into account the number and educational needs of those children, to the funds provided for participating public school children.
• Title III services provided to private school children and educational personnel must be secular, neutral, and nonideological.
• LEAs may serve private school LEP children and educational personnel either directly or through contracts with public and private agencies, organizations and institutions.

Program Operations – Private School Participation
• The control of funds used to provide services and the title to materials and equipment purchased with those funds must be retained by the LEA.
• Services for private school children and educational personnel must be provided by employees of the LEA or through a contract made by the LEA with a third party.
• Providers of services to private school children and educational personnel must be independent of the private school and of any religious organization, and the providers' employment or contract must be under the control and supervision of the LEA.
• Funds used to provide services to private school children and educational personnel must not be commingled with nonfederal funds.

![Page 40: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Screener Requirements•Include educator focus groups, small-scale trials, pilot tests, and field tests. •Phase I, steps 2-4, and Phase II are computer administered. •Minimize one on one time required for administration and overall administration time, while maximizing placement information
•Require the most testing time for students who are near proficient, avoid over-testing of beginners
•Only one form per grade/grade-band should be developed and used each year•Differentiate technology literacy from language proficiency•Apply EL learning theory to classification, by assessing language proficiency in the order in which language is learned (listening, then speaking, then reading, and lastly, writing.)
•Phase I plus Phase II will use same cut scores as screener and produce a similar/identical report.
•Assess skills that can be machine scored before assessing skills requiring hand scoring, saving time by requiring hand scoring only for those students who are nearly proficient
![Page 41: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Title III Fiscal Considerations
Laura Pauley, CPA
WVDE Office of Federal Programs
Tuesday June 16, 2015
![Page 60: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Title III Expenditures
• Are they allowable • Are the allocable• Are they reasonable and necessary to
carry out grant function• Should they be included in the 2% limit as
administrative costs• Do they meet supplement, not supplant
![Page 61: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Supplement not Supplant
• Title III, Part A funding is provided to supplement the level of Federal, State, and local public funds that, in the absence of such availability would have been expended for programs for LEP children and immigrant children and youth and in no case to supplant such Federal, State, and local public funds.
[Section 3115(g) of ESEA]
![Page 62: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Supplanting is presumed when:
• The LEA uses Federal funds to provide services that they are required to make available under other Federal, State of local laws.
• The LEA uses Federal funds to provide services that the LEA provided with other Federal, State or local funds in the prior year; or
• The same services to Title III students as it provided to non-Title III students with non-Title III funds.
![Page 63: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Other Federal Funds
• The supplement not supplant provision in Title III has a significant distinction from other federal programs in that Title III prohibits supplanting of other Federal as well as State and local funds.
![Page 64: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
• States, districts, and schools are required to provide core language instruction educational programs and services for ELL students.
• Upheld in Supreme Court Cases Lau v. Nichols and Castaneda v. Pickard
![Page 65: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Language Instruction Educational Programs
• The use of Title III funds to provide core language instruction educational programs, including providing for the salaries of ESL teachers of provide those services would be a supplant violation.
• Books and supplies not documented are supplemental expenditures would be a supplant violation.
• These are required services regardless of funding
![Page 66: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Annual ELP Assessments • Costs of administering ELP Assessments cannot be
paid for with Title III funds.• These include costs such as:
– Substitute teachers during test administration– The scoring or reporting of results– Materials or equipment related to the administration– If materials/equipment have already been purchased with
Title III funds for supplemental instruction you can use these for assessments without supplant
• Title I already requires annual ELP assessments to be administered annually
![Page 67: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Screening and Placement
• The development and administration of screening or placement exams may not be paid for out of Title III or Title I Federal Funds.
• LEAS would still be required to identify ELL’s in the absence of federal funding
![Page 68: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Translation & Interpretation
• Allowable costs - supplemental:– Personnel costs for translating written notices – Postage costs for mailing notices– Contract with a translation company that
provides these notices– Translation must be supplemental and for
translation activities that are specific to Title III
![Page 69: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Translation & Interpretation
• Unallowable Cost - Supplant– If the LEA communicates with all parents
about their child’s educational progress by mail, it would not be appropriate to use Title III funds to pay for the postage for LEP students.
– Title III funds cannot be used to provide translation/accommodations on assessments.
![Page 70: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Other Allowable Costs
• The following items can be provided with Title III funding to LEP children and their families:– Community participation programs– Family literacy services– Parent outreach and training activities

Question
• A district proposes to use Title III funds to provide monthly dinners for its EL parent advisory council. The amount proposed for these dinners is approximately 1/12 of the district’s Title III allocation. Would this be an allowable use of Title III funds?
![Page 90: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Answer
• NO– Generally, food and entertainment are not
allowable, unless there is specific reason food must be provided (such as all-day meeting).
– This cost may not be reasonable.
![Page 91: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Question
• A district proposes to use Title III funds to support the salary of an administrator who will, as part of his/her duties, administer district Title III-funded activities. Would this be an allowable use of Title III funds?
![Page 92: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Answer
• Yes– This may be allowable, assuming Title III
funds are only utilized to support his/her duties that are Title III-related, however, this portion of his/her salary should be assigned to the 2% administrative cost under Title III.
![Page 93: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Question
• A school district has faced budget cuts for FY2015 that included the loss of three ESL teachers. Can the district use Title III funds to pay all or any part of the salary to keep one of the ESL teachers.
![Page 94: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Answer
• Maybe– The LEA would need to determine whether
this teacher provides services that are required by Lau, and also apply the second test of supplements, not supplant – prior year – to determine whether this would be an allowable cost.
![Page 95: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Prior Year Test - SNS
• Budget cuts were made in a number of areas, not just services for LEP students; and,
• There was in fact a reduced amount of State or local funds to pay for this activity/position; and
• The LEA made the decision to eliminate the position/activity without taking into consideration Federal funds.
![Page 96: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

Answer
• Yes– If training is above and beyond any training
required under State law, and not required to meet Lau provisions.
![Page 98: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)

Answer
• Yes– LEAs would not normally pay these fees for
all teachers.
![Page 100: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Question
• Costs for training and materials for English language proficiency (ELP) assessment data analysis. Would this be an allowable use of Title III funds?
![Page 101: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Answer
• Yes– If data analysis were conducted for purposes
such as improvement of instruction, development of a Title III improvement plan, or related to Title III AMAOs
– Any costs related to training provided to administer the State ELP assessment would not be allowable
![Page 102: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Question

curriculum development is above and beyond what is required by the school, LEA, and state.
![Page 104: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Question
• Purchase of a laptop for ESL students to use a language development software program on. Would this be an allowable use of Title III funds?
![Page 105: Title III Summer Conference June 16, 2015 Embassy Suites Charleston, WV](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e185503460f94b039bf/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Answer
• Yes– If the laptop is something the district would
not purchase unless it had received a Title III grant, i.e., is not something they are otherwise required to purchase or have been purchasing.
– The LEA would need to have checks in place to ensure that the laptop is being utilized for the Title III program.
