Any Local Education Agency (LEA) enrolling one or more English Learners (ELs) during the previous school year qualifies for a Title III subgrant. However, under Title III, Part A [Section 3114 (b)], subgrants less than $10,000 may not be made to individual districts. Individual districts that do not meet the $10,000 threshold may join together to form a consortium in order to achieve the Title III, Part A Limited English Proficient (LEP) minimum $10,000 grant award. The minimum number of English Learner (EL) students needed to meet the $10,000 benchmark is approximately 112 (number of EL students multiplied by per a student amount). This number can change within any given year and LEAs should contact the Bilingual Multicultural Education Bureau for the current numbers. The members of a consortium choose the fiscal agent by consensus. The fiscal agent is responsible for all fiscal transactions of the consortium (filing of the application, requisitions, purchases, and payments) and for maintaining records of all financial transactions carried out on behalf of the Title III consortium.
