Program Descriptions:

Title III - Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students
The Title III program is designed to assure speedy acquisition of English language proficiency, assist students to achieve in the core academic subjects, and to assist students to meet State standards.  It also provides immigrant students with high quality instruction to meet challenging State standards, and assists the transition of immigrant children and youth into American society.

Section 41 - Bilingual Programs
Section 41 of the State School Aid Act provides funding to districts to support bilingual instruction for pupils of limited English-speaking ability. The legislation specifies that the funds are to be used solely for bilingual instruction in speaking, reading, writing, or comprehension for limited English-speaking pupils. The instruction must be conducted by or supervised by a teacher with bilingual endorsement. Funding is based on the number of eligible membership pupils who will be provided bilingual instruction.
