Clear Creek ISD outlines Title III Part A supports for English learners
Summary
A district presenter described how Title III Part A funds support English learners in Clear Creek Independent School District through campus-based ESL, select dual-language programs, assessments (TELPAS) and committee-driven placement decisions.
A presenter for Clear Creek Independent School District outlined the district's use of Title III, Part A federal funds to support students learning English, saying, "Title 3, part A."
The presenter described two primary instructional models: campus-based English as a Second Language services available at elementary, intermediate and high school campuses, and a selected dual-language program at some elementary and intermediate campuses that delivers instruction "angrizi or hispanvi dono zubanome" (in both English and Spanish) to help students become bilingual. The presenter said the funds are administered through the Texas Education Agency and framed Title III as part of federal accountability under the Every Student Succeeds Act.
District officials will rely on committee recommendations for program placement and classroom assignments, the presenter said, noting that the committee will "sefarish karigi or hathmi faisla" (make recommendations and a final decision). The presenter also emphasized identification practices, including a home language survey, and referenced the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) as the tool used to measure student progress.
The presenter advised families to contact the district when they need support and listed Parent 101 and federal programs materials online (see ccist.net) as resources for parents seeking information or help.
