The Title III Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) aims to support Limited English Proficient (LEP) students in achieving English proficiency while meeting state academic standards. Programs utilize both English and students' native languages to foster learning. Title III funding cannot be used for teacher salaries or interpreters and does not replace state/local funding obligations. The program emphasizes high-quality instructional practices, professional development for teachers, and alignment with WIDA and Common Core standards to ensure students' independent access to the core curriculum and measurable academic growth.

Title III 2013-2014 • Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) "Language instruction educational program" means an instruction course in which LEP students are placed for the purpose of attaining English proficiency, while meeting challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards. A language instruction educational program may make use of both English and a child's native language to enable the child to develop and attain English proficiency. Programs may include the participation of English proficient students in addition to LEP students if such a program enables participating students to become proficient in English and a second language.”
Rules around Title III funding… • …any efforts by an LEA or school to reduce State and local funds expended to implement language instruction educational programs serving LEP students based on the receipt of Federal Title III grant funds also violates the non-supplanting provision of Title III. In the absence of these Federal funds, LEAs would still be required to provide language instruction educational services and would need to expend funds to serve LEP students
Title III funding…. • Does not pay for teacher salaries- this MUST come from state funding. • Does not pay for Interpreters
