Title III is a federal entitlement through Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that focuses on supplemental services for English Learners (EL) and recently arrived Immigrant Children and Youth. Title III funding provides student support for language acquisition and achievement.

The primary focus of the Title III program is to ensure that our EL are learning English while meeting rigorous state content area standards. The focus of Title III is to assist Local Education Agencies (LEA) by providing academic and linguistic support through additional bilingual staff, supplemental instructional materials, and language acquisition software. In accordance with ESSA guidelines, our ELs are assessed annually on English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through the Access for ELL assessments developed through the WIDA consortium.
