Community-Based English Tutoring

Program

Pamela LucasAssociate Governmental Program Analyst


Community-Based English Tutoring Program

• Pursuant to Senate Bill x3 4 (SB x3 4), Community-Based English Tutoring (CBET) Program funding for 2008-09 through 2012-13 may be used for any educational purpose.

• All program requirements are suspended during this flexibility period.

• Funding for 2009-10 through 2012-13 will be based on 2008-09 allocations, rather than on EL counts.



• In addition to flexibility for 2008-09 through 2012-13 funding, SBx3 4 provides that CBET balances as of June 30, 2008 may be used for other purposes. The time period to do so ends June 30, 2010.

• The CDE sent a payment request to the State Controller’s Office on November 16, 2009 for 100 percent of the allocation for 2009-10.

• Funding results for 2009-10 are posted on the CDE Categorical Programs Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/cbet.asp



• The May Revised Budget released on 5/14/10 includes $40,095,000 for CBET for fiscal year 2010-11.

• Each LEA that received CBET funding for 2008-09 will automatically receive funding for 2010-11, without having to apply for it.

• For budgeting purposes, each LEA can estimate its allocation for 2010-11 by multiplying its 2008-09 allocation by 0.9476483. This will be its allocation for 2010-11, provided $40,095,000 is appropriated for CBET in the final 2010 State Budget.


English Language Acquisition Program

Pamela Lucas Associate Governmental Program Analyst



• English Language Acquisition program (ELAP) funding for 2008-09 through 2012-13 has NOT been granted flexibility.

• ELAP funding must still be used to provide supplemental services to ELs in grades four through eight.

• However, ELAP balances as of June 30, 2008 may be used for other purposes. The time period to do so ends June 30, 2010.



• Apportionment notices for 2009-10 were mailed in early September, 2009.

• The CDE sent a payment request to the State Controller’s Office on December 23, 2009 for 100 percent of the allocation for 2009-10.

• Funding results for 2009-10 are posted at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/englishlang.asp



• Application forms for 2010-11 were mailed on March 1, 2010. The form is also posted at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r22/elap10rfa.asp

• The submission deadline was May 1, 2010. However, late applications will be accepted. Late applicants will receive funding, provided sufficient funding is available to meet the statutory minimum of $100 per pupil for all applicants.



• The May Revised Budget released on 5/14/10 includes $50,376,000 for ELAP for fiscal year 2010-11.

• For budgeting purposes, each LEA can estimate its allocation for 2010-11 by multiplying its number of English learners in grades four through eight on the CALPADS Fall 1 data collection by $109.

• With few exceptions, do not include English learners enrolled in charter schools in the student count for funding.


Bilingual Teacher Training Program




• Pursuant to Senate Bill x3 4 (SB x3 4), Bilingual Teacher Training Program (BTTP) funding for 2008-09 through 2012-13 may be used for any educational purpose.

• All program requirements are suspended during this flexibility period.

• Funding for 2009-10 through 2012-13 will be based on 2008-09 allocations, rather than on teacher training provided.



• In addition to flexibility for 2008-09 through 2012-13 funding, SBx3 4 provides that BTTP balances as of June 30, 2008 may be used for other purposes. The time period to do so ends June 30, 2010.

• The CDE sent a payment request to the State Controller’s Office on February 15, 2010 for 100 percent of the allocation for 2009-10.

• Each COE that received BTTP funding for 2008-09 will automatically receive funding for 2010-11, without having to apply for it.

• For budgeting purposes, each COE can estimate its allocation for 2010-11 by multiplying its 2008-09 allocation by 0.940851. This will be its allocation for 2010-11, provided $1,702,000 is appropriated for BTTP in the final 2010 State Budget.
