Frequently Asked Questions 5. May CBET program funds be carried over from one school year to another?Yes. CBET funds may be carried over from year to year until spent. Beginning with fiscal year 2007-08, carryover will be accounted for as restricted ending fund balance; it was previously accounted for as deferred revenue.

6. Will LEAs be required to submit any fiscal reports for the CBET program?In an effort to reduce the reporting burden on LEAs, the CDE will no longer require expenditure reports for this program. Instead, the CDE will obtain expenditure information directly from the Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS) system.

7. May CBET program funds be used in conjunction with other state and federal funding sources? How are the CBET program funds to be used in conjunction with adult education programs?These funds may be used to develop new programs or to subsidize existing programs of English language instruction for parents, guardians, and other adult community members who pledge to tutor kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) EL students. Partnerships and collaborations with other programs that have similar purposes and goals are encouraged.
