How are LEAs held accountable for meaningful and timely consultation with private schools that request to participate in Title III programs and services?
As a part of the Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM) process, LEAs must provide evidence that they have met the legal requirements of ESEA, Part E, Subpart 1, Section 9501 (c) [1-4]. Evidence must demonstrate that personnel representing the LEA have engaged in timely and meaningful consultation with private school officials in their geographic area and have offered to assist the schools with the identification of ELs and the provision of services to eligible students, teachers, and families of ELs. The English Learner Instrument for Categorical Program Monitoring, under the section titled Program Review Instrument and in the document titled English Learner, can be found on the CDE Web page, 2010 Cycle D Reviews at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/cr/index.asp.
