Supplement, not Supplant
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
18
Supplement, not Supplant
According to ESEA, Title III, Section
3115(g), Title III funds must be used
to supplement educational programs
and services for limited English
proficient (LEP) and immigrant
children and do not replace, or supplant,
services that students would otherwise
receive.
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
19
How to Determine if a Cost is Allowable
Legal Authority• Statutes
– Title III statutes (ESEA Sections 3001–3304)
• Code of Federal Regulations– Title III Regulations
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction

21
Title III Supplement, not Supplant Requirement
Title III funds must be used to supplement the level of Federal, State, and local funds that, in the absence of Title III funds, would have been expended for programs for LEP and immigrant children and youth.
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
22
The First Test of Supplanting: “Required by Law”
An LEA uses Title III funds to provide services that the LEA is required to make available under State or local laws, or other Federal laws
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
23
The Second Test of Supplanting: “Prior Year”
An LEA uses Title III funds to
provide services that it provided in
the prior year with State, local, or
other Federal funds
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
24
How Can Title III Funds be Used Without Violating the
Supplement, not Supplant Requirement?
Questions to Ask: 1. Is the proposed cost allowable under Title III, Part A program rules (ESEA,
Sections 3001–3304)?
2. Is the proposed cost consistent with Title III, Part A fiscal rules (Supplement, not Supplant)?
3. What are the instructional program/services provided to all students?
4. What services is the LEA required by other Federal, State, and local laws or regulations to provide?
5. Was the program/service previously provided with State, local, or Federal funds?
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
25
Questions to Ask: (continued)
Based on the answers to the previous questions, would the proposed funds be used to provide an instructional program/service that is in addition to, or supplemental to, an instructional program/service that would otherwise be provided to LEP and/or immigrant students in the absence of a Title III grant?
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
26
Exceptions to the Rule
• If the state education agency or LEA demonstrates it would not have provided services if the federal funds were not available
• NO non-federal resources available this year
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
27
Complexity of the Requirement
Though the legal authority and
guidance regarding Title III allowable
costs is clear, the supplement, not
supplant, requirement is fact
dependent and can require complex
answers dependent on specific
criteria and circumstances.

Title III Accountability
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction

Accountability Overview• 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
JACK O’CONNELLState Superintendent of Public Instruction
58
Consequences of not Meeting Annual Measurable
Achievement ObjectivesIf a Title III LEA or consortia does not meet any one or more of the three AMAOs in any year, it must:
• Inform parents of all ELs in the LEA, or the consortia as a whole, that the AMAOs have not been met.
• Notification should be provided within 30 days of the public release of the Title III Accountability reports.
