What fiscal procedures should be taken when a direct-funded LEA or consortium-partner LEA discontinues participation in Title III?
When an LEA submits a Title III application, it agrees to participate in the program for the duration of a particular school year. If, at the end of the school year (June 30th) in question, there are unexpended funds, then carryover of the funds is allowed for another 12-month period. These funds are earmarked for supplementary programs and services to LEP and/or eligible immigrant students in the LEA that originally generated the funds even if the LEA is no longer participating in the Title III program in the current school year. If, at the end of the 12-month carryover period, an unexpended balance remains, these funds must be returned to the California Department of Education. No additional carryover authority may be granted.
