Consolidated Application An Overview of the San Leandro USD ConApp
What is the ConApp? • The Consolidated Application (ConApp) is used by the California Department of Education to distribute categorical funds (e.g. EIA, Title 1, Title 3) from various state and federal programs to school districts. • Annually in the Spring, San Leandro USD submits the ConApp to document participation in these programs and provide assurances that the district will comply with the legal requirements of each program • The amount of funding (or entitlement) is determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs.
Role of DELAC w/ConApp • By law, if a district has more than 50 English Learners, it must establish a District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) and: • Involve them in the application for funding of programs that serve English Learners • In SLUSD, DELAC will review the ConApp
Role of DAC w/ConApp • Once a school district is deemed eligible for state funding (Economic Impact Aid or EIA), and if the district designates EIA funds for State Compensatory Education (SCE), then the district must involve the District Advisory Committee (DAC) in the application related to compensatory education programs. • In SLUSD, DAC will review the ConApp • Note: State compensatory education (SCE) services provide support for educationally disadvantaged students as determined by the district
What funding will SLUSD apply for in 2013-14? • Economic Impact Aid (EIA-LEP and EIA-SCE) • Title 1 • Title 2 • Title 3 Limited English Proficient (LEP)
Economic Impact Aid (EIA) • EIA is a state categorical program for K-12 students that supports: • Additional programs and services for English learners (limited English proficient or LEP) and, • State compensatory education (SCE) services for educationally disadvantaged students as determined by the district • EIA/LEP--Supports programs and activities to assist English learners achieve proficiency in the English language as rapidly as possible and to support programs and activities to improve the academic achievement of English learners. • EIA/SCE--Supports programs and activities designed to assist educationally disadvantaged students achieve state standard proficiency. • ALL SCHOOLS IN SAN LEANDRO USD RECEIVE EIA-LEP and EIA-SCE FUNDS • Funding for sites determined by # of low income students, English Learner students and SCE students (students scoring less than proficient on ELA CST)
Title 1 • Title I, Part A federal funds help to meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in California's highest-poverty schools. • Supports effective, research-based educational strategies that close the achievement gap between high-and low-performing students and enable the students to meet the state's challenging academic standards. Title I-funded schools in San Leandro are schoolwide program schools. • Our Title 1 funded schools are Garfield, Jefferson, McKinley, Monroe, Washington, Wilson, Bancroft and Muir.
Title 2 • Title 2 funds are used to increase the academic achievement of all students by helping schools and districts: • improve teacher and principal quality • ensure that all teachers are highly qualified.
Title 3 Limited English Proficient • Title III is officially known as the English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Act. • Ensures that limited-English-proficient (LEP) students (called English learners under California laws) attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging academic content and achievement standards that other students are expected to meet.
Nonprofit Private School Participation • School districts must offer to provide equitable services that address the needs of nonprofit private school students, who would be attending a district school if they were not enrolled at a private school • The four private schools served by SLUSD are: • Assumption School • Principled Academy • St. Felicitas • St. Leander • San Leandro engages in consultation meetings with private schools annually to: • Verify nonprofit status • Confirm accuracy of student enrollment data • Determine the funds that the private school will apply for • Ensure that all funding regulations are met
