What are the consequences if an LEA does not meet the growth targets?
If a Title III subgrantee fails to meet the growth targets for two consecutive years, the LEA or consortium lead shall develop an improvement plan that will ensure that the AMAOs are met. The improvement plan shall specifically address the factors that prevented the LEA or consortium from achieving the AMAOs. The plan may apply to targeted schools or districts rather than the entire LEA or consortium if the particular factors that prevented the Title III subgrantee from meeting the AMAOs warrant such an approach. If the LEA or consortium fails to meet the AMAOs for four consecutive years, the state shall require the LEA or consortium to modify its curriculum, program, and method of instruction or determine whether the subgrantee will continue to receive Title III funds (Section 3122 (b)).
