As Categorical Programs Director, how can I provide support regarding ELAP?
It is critical that schools receive guidance in analyzing data (such as Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives, and academic assessment results). LEAs that have received ELAP funds in the past would benefit from an analysis of how much of the funding was spent and on what kinds of activities and whether this was an effective use of funds. If there is a significant amount of carryover, it would also be important to determine the reason for the unexpended funds. Categorical programs directors should provide guidance necessary to ensure that appropriate services are provided to ELs in grades four through eight.
