2022-2024 Title III Immigrant Influx Application

 

2022-2024 Title III Immigrant Influx Overview

In accordance with Title III, Sec. 3114(d)(2), the IDOE provides a portion of the state Title III appropriation to support schools and districts who have experienced a significant influx of immigrant students. A local education agency is considered to have had a significant immigrant influx if it has experienced an increase of at least 20 immigrant students over the average immigrant population of the two preceding years, representing an increase in immigrant student population of at least 25%. Any local education agency meeting these criteria is eligible to receive the Title III Immigrant Influx subgrant.

Who are Immigrant Students? Immigrant students are students between the ages of 3 and 21 who were not born in any U.S. State (or Puerto Rico) and have been enrolled in U.S. schools for less than 3 academic years [Title III, section 3201(5)]. Note: Not all immigrant students are English learners; therefore, it is important to ensure all immigrant students are eligible for activities and resources supported with Immigrant Influx funds.
