Summary

If an eligible group gets a subgrant from a State under subpart 1, it must give the State a report at the end of every second fiscal year it gets the grant. The report must use the State’s form and cover the two most recent fiscal years. It must describe the programs and how they added to state or local programs, and give numbers and percentages for English learners on measures such as progress toward English proficiency, students who reach proficiency (by the State’s standards and tests), students who leave the program because they reached proficiency, students’ academic performance for each of the 4 years after they stop getting services, and students who still are not proficient within 5 years of first being labeled an English learner and first enrolling in the local district. The State can also ask for other information. The report must be used by the group and the State to improve the programs. Specially qualified agencies that get grants under subpart 1 must send the same reports to the Secretary instead of the State.
