Status:
Approve the submission of the continuation grant application for the Emergency Immigrant Education Program.
The federal Emergency Immigrant Education Program provides formula funding to school districts with significant numbers of immigrant students. Funding is based upon the number of immigrant students enrolled in district schools the previous school year. This year's proposed state allocation to Broward County for 2001-2002 is $4,445,918.
This funding impacts all schools in the district. It enhances and supplements the instructional and non-instructional components at the school level, toward the improvement of academic achievement of immigrant students. It provides for the implementation of parent training activities, support services such as interpreters/ translators, ESOL labs and supplementary instructional materials for the target population.
It allows for the continuation of literacy programs in the schools with large enrollments of immigrant students with limited or no prior schooling. These schools are Annabel C. Perry, Bennett, Broadview, Croissant Park, Cypress, Hallandale, Hollywood Park, Horizon, Lloyd Estates, Markham, Meadowbrook, Miramar, Mirror Lake, North Side, Park Ridge, Quiet Waters, Thurgood Marshall and Westchester Elementary schools; Apollo, Crystal Lake, Lauderdale Lakes, McNicol, Pompano Beach, Seminole and Sunrise Middle schools; and Blanche Ely, Boyd Anderson, Deerfield Beach, Dillard, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Hills, Miramar and Northeast High schools.
The Office of Research and Evaluation Department collects data and interprets evaluation results on this program. Findings will be included in the end-of-year report required to be sent to the funding agency.
The financial impact is $4,445,918. The source of funds is the U. S. Department of Education through the Florida Department of Education. There is no additional financial impact to the school district.
