These funds are distributed to states on a formula-grant basis for the purpose of ensuring that “children who are limited English proficient, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency, develop high levels of academic attainment in English, and meet the same challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards as all children are expected to meet.” [NCLB, Title III, Part A, Sec. 3102. Purposes (1)].
