Tuesday, August 7, 2012 6:00 p.m. Andrew Gordon, Facilitator WELCOME! 1 An Overview of the San Leandro USD ConApp What is the ConApp? The Consolidated Application (ConApp) is used by the California Department of Education to distribute categorical funds (e.g. EIA, Title 1, Title 3) from various state and federal programs to school districts. Annually in the Spring, San Leandro USD submits the ConApp to document participation in these programs and provide assurances that the district will comply with the legal requirements of each program As the state moved the ConApp to an online application process, the release of the ConApp was delayed. As a result, the application process began in July. The amount of funding (or entitlement) is determined by formulas contained in the laws that created the programs. Role of DELAC w/ConApp By law, if a district has more than 50 English Learners, it must establish a District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) and: Involve them in the application for funding of programs that serve English Learners In SLUSD, DELAC will review the ConApp What funding will SLUSD apply for in 2012-13?
