How does the California Department of Education determine the eligibility of LEAs to receive an immigrant education subgrant?
The Department examines immigrant enrollment data reported annually through the SNOR to determine whether the LEA (any school district, county office of education, or direct-funded charter school) has experienced a significant increase in eligible immigrant student enrollment in the current year compared with the average of the two preceding fiscal years. If the percentage of growth is five percent or greater, the LEA is eligible to participate in the Title III immigrant education program. For the 2007-08 school year subgrants, data from 2004 and 2005 will be averaged and compared with 2006 enrollment data. A list of all LEAs eligible for a subgrant in 2007-2008 will be posted at the Immigrant Education Program Web site. Data from private schools located within the geographic boundaries of an LEA are integrated into the LEA’s data to determine eligibility, and the data are also included for funding purposes.
