Trumbull County English Language Learners Consortium
Champion Local Schools EL students along with teacher Rebecca Baxter, Principal Ali Nannicola, and TCESC Consortium Lead Angela Guarnieri celebrating the family and community collaboration event between Unite For Literacy and the United Way of Trumbull County.
In Ohio, a Title III consortium is a group of local education agencies (LEAs), such as school districts or community schools, that join together in supporting English Language Learners. This is necessary because LEAs receiving less than $10,000 in Title III funds must either form a consortium or join an existing one to access programming. The TCESC acts as the lead representative and fiscal agent.
Benefits:
Consortium members can benefit from shared resources, professional development opportunities, and access to expertise in providing language instruction to ELs.
