What is the intent of the CBET program and how can the funds be used?
The legislature has declared that “the more a parent or guardian is involved in the education of his or her child the better the child will perform in school.” The intent of this program is to encourage adult student partnerships that result in raising the general level of English knowledge in the community. The purpose of the CBET funds is to provide free or subsidized adult English instruction to parents or other community members who pledge to provide English tutoring to California school children with limited English proficiency. According to regulations, these funds may be used for direct program services, community notification processes, transportation services, and background checks related to the tutoring program.
