Title III English Learners | Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Title III English Learners Title III English Learners "There is no equality of treatment merely by providing students with the same facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum; for students who do not understand English are effectively foreclosed from any meaningful education." - Lau v.
Nichols (1974) A Lau plan is an equal access plan that protects ELs.
The plan describes what a school district will do: to design an effective program reflective of their needs to employ appropriate English-as-a-second-language or bilingual personnel (or both), to align the instruction of ELs to state and local content standards to provide ongoing authentic assessments to ascertain their growth in English language proficiency and in the comprehension of academic content.
A Lau plan is a "working document" that should be revisited frequently. Essential components of a Lau plan include the legal foundation, student assessments, an instructional plan, parental involvement, qualified personnel, a coordination plan, a budget, adjunct services, and other possible considerations.

If it is to be used for activities and communications that are a part of the general school function offered to all parents, then it is not allowable.

Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs.
