Community-Based English Tutoring Program Pamela LucasAssociate Governmental Program Analyst
Community-Based English Tutoring Program Pursuant to Senate Bill x3 4 (SB x3 4), Community-Based English Tutoring (CBET) Program funding for 2008-09 through 2012-13 may be used for any educational purpose. All program requirements are suspended during this flexibility period. Funding for 2009-10 through 2012-13 will be based on 2008-09 allocations, rather than on EL counts.
Community-Based English Tutoring Program In addition to flexibility for 2008-09 through 2012-13 funding, SBx3 4 provides that CBET balances as of June 30, 2008 may be used for other purposes. The time period to do so ends June 30, 2010. The CDE sent a payment request to the State Controller’s Office on November 16, 2009 for 100 percent of the allocation for 2009-10. Funding results for 2009-10 have been posted on the CDE Categorical Programs Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/cbet.asp.
Community-Based English Tutoring Program The Governor’s Budget released on 1/8/10 includes $40,095,000 for CBET for fiscal year 2010-11. Each LEA that received CBET funding for 2008-09 will automatically receive funding for 2010-11, without having to apply for it. For budgeting purposes, each LEA can estimate its allocation for 2010-11 by multiplying its 2008-09 allocation by 0.9476483. This will be its allocation for 2010-11, provided $40,095,000 is appropriated for CBET in the final 2010 State Budget.

English Language Acquisition Program The Governor’s Budget released on 1/8/10 includes $50,376,000 for ELAP for fiscal year 2010-11. For budgeting purposes, each LEA can estimate its allocation for 2010-11 by multiplying its number of English learners in grades four through eight on the March 1, 2010 Language Census (R30-LC) by $109. With few exceptions, do not include English learners enrolled in charter schools in the student count for funding.
