Who counts for Title III funding, district presenter explains

A presenter for CLEAR CREEK ISD read the district's eligibility definition for Title III counting and advised families to listen closely to the technical rule. "Một học sinh được tính nếu em từ ba đến hai mươi mốt tuổi, không sinh ra ở trong năm mươi tiểu bang Washington D.C hoặc Puerto Rico và chưa theo học các trường ở Hoa Kỳ quá ba năm học trọn vẹn," the presenter said.

The presenter emphasized the rule affects how the district plans support and receives federal funds: the count is administrative and temporary and ends after a student has been enrolled in U.S. schools for three full academic years. The presenter added that Puerto Rico's inclusion in the definition often causes confusion (a child born in Puerto Rico would not be counted under this definition).
