Overview The Immigrant Headcount window is open February 2, 2011 – March 2, 2011. Students previously identified as immigrant within your LEA/Charter School have been loaded into the Immigrant CFDC using student records from the LEP and Immigrant CFDC sites. The February 1 Immigrant Headcount of eligible immigrant students is combined with the October 1 LEP Headcount to determine distribution of Title III funds and LEA eligibility for Title III PRC 111 significant increase funds in 2010-2011.

Immigrant

Clarified Interpretation of Years in U.S. Schools The following clarification applies ONLY to eligible Immigrant students who have withdrawn from school in the United States, moved outside of the United States during the school year, then returned and enrolled in a school in the United States. “Three full academic years” are determined according to the actual number of days an eligible Immigrant student has been enrolled in school in the United States. In North Carolina one academic year is defined as 180 school days. To view the Federal clarification (dated January 13, 2011) of the definition of immigrant children and youth click here.

In order to apply this definition to an Immigrant student included in the Immigrant CFDC the LEA must describe the process by which “three academic years” is documented and archived for any student record in which the Years in US Schools is changed. See User Guide for more details. Submit a copy of the Revision of Feb 1, 2011 Immigrant form (found here) signed by the LEA Superintendent or designee.

Immigrant

Use of Funding The needs of all identified/reported immigrant students generating Title III funds must be considered when prioritizing use of these funds. LEAs have the discretion to use funds allocated under the immigrant program to implement the allowable activities in section 3115(e) for the immigrant students deemed most in need of services.
