  2. Purpose Economic Impact Aid (EIA) is a state categorical program for kindergarten through grade twelve to support: • Additional programs and services for Limited English Proficient (LEP) students • State Compensatory Education (SCE) services for educationally disadvantaged youth (EDY) as determined by the local educational agency (LEA)

  3. Purpose (continued) • Provide supplemental support programs, services, and activities • Assure that LEP students achieve proficiency in the English language as rapidly as practicable and to support programs and activities to improve their academic achievement

  4. Eligibility • EIA funding is open to all public school districts that request participation using Part I of the annual Consolidated Application (ConApp) for funds • Charter schools receive “in lieu” EIA funds through their block grant, not the ConApp • County offices of education operating juvenile court schools are eligible for EIA as of 2010–11

  5. Eligibility (continued) • EIA/LEP must be allocated to every site enrolling identified LEP students • Funds may not be allocated to sites reporting zero LEP students

  6. Requirements • Funds received by school districts for EIA shall supplement, not supplant, existing resources at the school site • 85 percent of LEA entitlement must be apportioned to school sites, via the ConApp, and used to provide direct services to eligible pupils

  7. Allowable Expenditures • Supplemental teaching materials • Paraprofessionals • Supplemental LEP professional development for teachers and paraprofessionals • Parent involvement • Resource teachers • Other “reasonable” district expenses
