More about Title III
Title III is organized into two local assistance streams: sub grants for students learning English as a second language and sub grants for eligible immigrant students. Funds may be used to support a wide array of instructional and support services for English Learners (EL), immigrant students, and their families. All school districts, county offices of education and direct-funded charter schools that take Title III Funds are required to provide high-quality professional development to classroom teachers, principals, administrators, and other school personnel in order to improve instruction and assessment of EL students.
The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) has been identified as the Regional County Office of Education (COE) English Learner Specialist for Region 9 for San Diego, Orange and Imperial Counties. As the Region 9 Title III Lead, SDCOE provides technical support to agencies with Title III requirements.
