The evidence is clear: schools can improve outcomes for English learners with federal Title III funding, but adequate funding and strong implementation are key. Read more in ELC's Title III Evidence Review here:

Title III Evidence Review: The Impact of Federal Support for English Learners
Federal support for English learners is currently under threat in the nation’s public schools. English learners have been and will be directly affected by the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the Education Department through executive orders that undermine students’ rights, the massive reduction in staff at key federal offices that support effective instruction and enforce civil rights, and a budget proposal that eliminates $890 million in federal funding for English Language Acquisition (Title III).

Public money should fund public schools, which serve 90% of America’s kids. The new federal tax credit voucher program will divert critically needed public funds away from public schools.

“Choice” without access isn’t real choice. Voucher-funded schools can deny admission, lack services for students with disabilities, and aren’t held to the same accountability standards. It’s the school’s choice not school choice!
