Notice of Proposed Title III Interpretations

• CA had many concerns

Issues with Consortia-level Accountability

• The CDE implemented accountability at the
  consortia level in 2006-07 and 2007-08 due to
  federal requirement.
• The CDE would like to go back to holding
  consortia members accountable as LEAs if allowed
  when the Proposed Interpretations are final.
• This change would not affect the requirement to
  form consortium if an LEA is not eligible for a
  grant of 10,000 or more.
