This program is designed to improve the education of limited English proficient children and youth by helping them learn English and meet challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards. The program provides enhanced instructional opportunities for immigrant children and youth. Funds are distributed to states based on a formula that takes into account the number of immigrant and limited English proficient students in each state. States must develop annual measurable achievement objectives for limited English proficient students that measure their success in achieving English language proficiency and meeting challenging state academic content and achievement standards. Schools use these funds to implement language instruction educational programs designed to help limited English proficient students achieve these standards.
