Overview The Immigrant Headcount window is open February 2, 2011
– March 2, 2011. Students previously identified as immigrant within
your LEA/Charter School have been loaded into the Immigrant CFDC
using student records from the LEP and Immigrant CFDC sites. The
February 1 Immigrant Headcount of eligible immigrant students is
combined with the October 1 LEP Headcount to determine distribution
of Title III funds and LEA eligibility for Title III PRC 111 significant
increase funds in 2010-2011.

Clarified Interpretation of Years in U.S. Schools The following
clarification applies ONLY to eligible Immigrant students who have
withdrawn from school in the United States, moved outside of the
United States during the school year, then returned and enrolled in a
school in the United States. “Three full academic years” are
determined according to the actual number of days an eligible
Immigrant student has been enrolled in school in the United States.
In North Carolina one academic year is defined as 180 school days.
To view the Federal clarification (dated January 13, 2011) of the
definition of immigrant children and youth click here.

In order to apply this definition to an Immigrant student included in
the Immigrant CFDC the LEA must describe the process by which
“three academic years” is documented and archived for any student
record in which the Years in US Schools is changed. See User
Guide for more details. Submit a copy of the Revision of Feb 1, 2011
Immigrant form (found here) signed by the LEA Superintendent or
designee.


Use of Funding The needs of all identified/reported
immigrant students generating Title III funds must be
considered when prioritizing use of these funds.
LEAs have the discretion to use funds allocated
under the immigrant program to implement the
allowable activities in section 3115(e) for the
immigrant students deemed most in need of
services.
