  8. End of Year Expenditure Reports LEAs must report all obligations on the EOY expenditure report. • According to the California State Accounting Manual, “Legal obligations are commitments made by an LEA to purchase goods or services immediately or in a future period.” • To determine whether a financial commitment should be reported as an obligation, please refer to Title 34, Part 76, Section 707 from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR): Retrieve by CFR citation Web page at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/retrieve.html(Outside Source).

  12. Title III Accountability UpdateLilia G. Sánchez Education Programs Consultant

  13. Title III Accountability • The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA),Title III, requires states to hold LEAs and Consortia accountable for meeting Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) as a condition of funding. • LEAs are accountable for meeting the following three AMAO targets: AMAO 1: Annual progress in learning English AMAO 2: Progress in attaining English-language proficiency AMAO 3: Meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements for the English learner (EL) subgroup at the LEA or Consortia level.

  14. Consequences of Not Meeting AMAOs If a Title III or consortia does not meet any one or more of the three AMAOs in any year, it must: • Inform the parents of all ELs in the LEA or the consortia as a whole, that the AMAOs have not been met. • This notification should be provided within 30 days of the public release of the Title III Accountability reports.

  15. Title III Year 2 LEAs in Improvement Status • Pursuant to requirements of ESEA, Section 3122(b)(2)(3). • LEAs and Consortia that fail to meet one or more AMAOs for two consecutive years (2008–09, and 2009–10).

  32. Title III Annual Evaluation SurveyPamela Lucas Associate Governmental Program Analyst

  33. 2009–10 Title III Annual Evaluation Survey The ESEA, Part A, Section 3121, requires each Title III LEP Student Program subgrantee to report on language instruction programs and activities they conduct.

  34. Title III Survey Timelines • The CDE has created an online survey to comply with this requirement to report on the 2009–10 year. • This survey will be available from September 24, 2010, through October 22, 2010. • Personal identification numbers (PINs) were mailed on September 8, 2010, to all Title III LEP 2009–10 subgrantees. • The survey is available on the CDE Title III Annual Evaluation Survey Web page at http://www2.cde.ca.gov/title3survey/logon. aspx.

  35. Survey Questions Survey questions relate to the implementation of language instruction programs in your local educational agency during the 2009–10year,whether or not paid for with Title III funds.

  36. Participants • Direct-funded agencies • Consortium leads should complete one survey for the entire consortium • Title III Director or a person knowledgeable about the Title III program in your agency should complete this survey

  37. Consequences for Not Reporting • The federal government needs to know the activities and implementation of language instruction programs in individual states • Failure to do so may effect future funding for all states and their LEAs
