Title III Accountability Update

Lilia G. Sánchez Education Programs Consultant


27


Title III Accountability• The Elementary and Secondary Education Act

(ESEA),Title III, requires states to hold LEAs and Consortia accountable for meeting AMAOs as a condition of funding

• LEAs are accountable for meeting the following three AMAO targets:

AMAO 1: Annual progress in learning English

AMAO 2: Progress in attaining English- language proficiency

AMAO 3: Meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements for the EL

subgroup at the LEA or Consortia level


28


Consequences of Not Meeting AMAOs

If a Title III or consortia does not meet any one or more of the three AMAOs in any year, it must:

• Inform the parents of all ELs in the LEA or the consortia as a whole, that the AMAOs have not been met

• This notification should be provided within 30 days of the public release of the Title III Accountability reports


29


Title III Year 2 LEAs in Improvement Status

30



• Must develop an Improvement Plan Addendum (IPA)
