Title III Immigrant
Eligibility Determination– 2008-09 eligibility is calculated by
averaging an LEA’s 2005 and 2006 SNOR count then comparing it to the 2007 count
– LEA qualifies when there is a 5% growth; this qualification establishes “base year eligibility”
– LEA is then funded for 3 consecutive years– New 5% growth resets base year eligibility
and another 3 years of funding– 2008-09 funding is based on March 2007
SNOR count

Expenditure Reporting
Direct funded LEAs and consortia leads file three expenditure reports each year: one on each Con App (June and January) and one hard copy due in Oct.
Report expenditures by fiscal year of allocation, not current fiscal year
Note that although you may not have received your 06-07 award until mid-year of 07-08, don’t report as 07-08.
Report how much of total allocation was spent (not including carryover)

Cash Management Schedule
Payments are released if the cash management threshold is met: 80% expenditure of released funds
Only the lead LEA reports expenditures on the ConApp for the entire consortia
Payments of 40%, 40% and 20% of award Advice: award notification letter is your
spending authority! Don’t wait for cash in the bank…
The CDE is developing a comprehensive entitlement expenditure reporting system…which will expedite payments
