Title III is the section of the No Child Left Behind Act that authorizes funds for English-language acquisition programs. But the money may not be used in place of money from other local, state, or federal sources that would otherwise be spent on programs for ELLs. It's a tricky matter. Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:13:00 GMT /education/still-confused-about-supplement-not-supplant-under-title-iii/2008/11 /education/what-the-feds-said-about-supplement-not-supplant-for-title-iii/2008/11 I hope you've had a chance to read my reports on this blog of what officials from the U.S. Department of 91制片厂视频 have been saying about the "supplement-not-supplant" provision of Title III, the section of the No Child Left Behind Act that authorizes funds for English-language-acquisition programs. The provision says that money from Title III can't be used in place of money from local, state, or federal sources that would otherwise be spent on ELLs. Andrew Brownstein of Thompson Publishing Group has recently posted a report on the same topic, "Title III Supplanting Provisions Draw Questions." (Hat tip to This Week in 91制片厂视频.) He picks up on one of the issues that I've reported on previously, that a number of states have been using Title III funds to pay for English-language-proficiency tests, and federal officials say that's not allowed. For previously unreported details from a discussion that took place at a session of the LEP Partnership meeting on Oct. 15, such as how Title III funds can be used to pay for an ELL resource teacher, read the points with bullets at the end of Mr. Brownstein's piece.

It's a statement about how the two programs should be coordinated from the federal level down to the classroom.

But I came away wondering what the funds CAN be spent on. Title III is the part of the No Child Left Behind Act that authorizes funds for English-language-acquisition programs.

Title I authorizes funds for disadvantaged students and also includes some provisions for English-language learners, and Title III is the main conduit of funding for English-language-acquisition programs.

Title III is the section of the law that authorizes funds for English-language-acquisition programs.

The Oct. 2 letter says that U.S. Department of 91制片厂视频 officials encountered some "state and local practices" while monitoring programs for English-language learners that suggested a need for clarification.

Title III has been handled by the office of English-language acquisition, while Title I, which provides funds for disadvantaged students and also contains some provisions applying specifically to English-language learners, is administered by the office of elementary and secondary education.

And many of them don't like one of the proposed requirements in particular: that states be required to use the same criteria to decide if students have attained proficiency in English as they do to determine when students should leave special programs. 91制片厂视频 officials and educators in California raised a bigger outcry than those in any other state regarding that requirement.

Unlike the "discussion draft" released by the House 91制片厂视频 and Labor Committee in August, the proposals of the Senate Health, 91制片厂视频, Labor, and Pensions Committee are not yet online. The partial draft of a revised NCLB from the Senate has only been circulated among lobbyists for comments (for more on that see David Hoff's blog, NCLB: Act II).
