What are the responsibilities of the Consortium lead and members?
The consortium lead LEA will be responsible for acting as the fiscal and programmatic agent for the consortium, and will file the required expenditure reports and maintain fiscal records. The lead provides the member LEAs with programs, services, and products. In the event that the consortium fails to meet the Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) for one year, the lead LEA will be responsible for ensuring that parents of LEP students in each member LEA are notified if AMAOs are not met. The consortium lead may delegate responsibility to each of the consortium members. In the event that the consortium fails to meet AMAOs for two consecutive years, the consortium will meet to develop a Title III Improvement Plan Addendum. The Lead LEA will be responsible for completing and submitting the Biennial Evaluation and any other evaluation necessary to the CDE. Member LEAs are required to collectively plan and agree to a common memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the consortium. Th
