• Improve educational services for these children so they have the opportunity to meet challenging state academic content and achievement standards
• Provide services to successfully transition students between treatment facilities and LEAs
• Prevent youth who are at-risk from dropping out of school, and provide those who have dropped out of school and children and youth returning from correctional facilities with a support system to ensure their continued education

The Title III-A consortium is a network of school districts that come together to support their English Learner (EL) populations when each school district in the consortium has less than $10,000 in Title III funds and is unable to qualify for the funds independently.  By joining together in the consortium, each district can access funds and resources that address the needs of both teachers and students.
