Funding English Learner Education: Making the Most of Policy and Budget
Levers

The landscape of K-12 education funding in the United States is
exceptionally complex. When it comes to funding an equitable, high-quality
education for English Learners (ELs), discussions often focus on federal
funds under Title III of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)—an important
source of funding for many aspects of ELs’ education, but by no means the
only one. There are numerous policy and budget levers that determine the
level of resources available to support these students.

This issue brief provides an overview of these policy and budget
mechanisms, how they work, and why they are relevant to EL education. Among
the questions it explores: What federal, state, and local funding sources
are available? What administrative considerations are at play, such as the
rules for how funds are distributed and used? And what do stakeholders
within and outside a school system need to know to be empowered to
participate in the budgeting process?
